Opinions on woodworking on stands?

Keep your grains horizontal to match the flow of the long tank. Also use a piece of matching T molding in between the sheets that's centered so your eye's focus on the tank not the stand.

You could use my router if you lived closer. I'd either go with a 72 inch strip OR use veneer. I'd not worry about the grain though, with my stand I used red oak and the horizontal strips look as nice as the vertical ones, regardless of the grain.
