I remember a design that I see at Anco Pure Vanda website that shows what I´m talking about.

And again congratulations, I like how firm looks.

However you curve it, thee is always a problem with roots touching the metal. Plus, this design is using angle iron for rigidity, and if you use curved bar, it would have to be quite heavy to achieve the same strength. It's 1.2 metres high to give the roots plenty of 'hang' space, and that length gives a lot of flex on a flat bar. I COULD curve angle, it means a lot of cut and shut, but it can be done, and might look quite snazzy. I'll think about that for the mark II.

Thanks for the compliments.
