Wood you can feel working.
- Solid beech and ash. Dense, fine-grained hardwood with real weight, so the stand stays put.
- Sanded, never lacquered. No oil, no paint. Cords glide over bare wood.
- Disassembles in seconds. Take it to a workshop, a class, or on holiday.
- Made to order by one maker. Questions go to the person who built your stand.
