Default Trying to build cheap
said:

I'm interested in making the "Classic Oak Plant Stand" from Woodsmith
#147, but looking over the materials it's going to cost me $50 just for
the legs.

Would I be foolish to glue up leg blanks from doubled-up 3/4" select
pine and stain it something respectible? Is the line down the leg
going to be very noticeable? Any advice on making this stand for less
money?

Poplar is, well, popular for prototypes. Less resinous, better grain.
Far better than pine, but softer than oak.
FWIW
