Made this tv stand for the basement tv a few years ago. Had to take down an oak when adding to my barn when I lived by Lafayette in 2000. The tree started its life around the civil war. Hated to take it down. No branches for about 30 feet, too nice for firewood so I had a guy slab it for me. Got numerous 1x12x10’ and a few 2x12x10’. Slabber kept half the wood for his fee. Made the adjustable bracket holding the TV out of wood also. Wires run behind the stand and 120 v plug installed above the hanging ceiling.
