Yes, (For sale). Different sizes, colors and finishes etc.I have to work up the pricing though. Most are simply a single solid chunk of figured "Rock Maple". Or "Black Walnut". Some have large chunks of woods such as 'Cocobolo", "Mahogany" and also various,"Burls'. I LOVE to work with 'Burls'! What size are you after? If I do not have it, I can get it. As far as what I can make? "If you can think it up? I can make it"! Wood, metal, or carbon fiber? I can mill it, grind it or turn it. Mold it, shape it and finish it! I'll post some more pics soon. I have a good bit of gear for sale as well. And I build speakers. "Big one's". Plus maybe another hundred or so pursuits. "All audio related". So I guess that the answer to the "DIY question", would be a, "Yes" also. Scott |

Since i have received "PM's" asking;
The sizes vary, "When your spending $2000+ per (Live edge, slab) you try to use it all"!
The smallest is 14.5 x 14.5". The largest currently is 24" x 48". "Most" though are roughly 18" x 20" or close to it. The thickness varies as well with the average of probably close to 3" thick. The "Rough" slabs are just over 4" thick and usually 18' or so long and about 4' thick at thye widest popint. But once cut, trimmed and planed to travel, "after I lay them out"? They are much thinner. I was getting "maybe" six - seven plinthes per slab to then finish. The "Maple" had allot of bark, rot and etc. loss. The "black Waslnut" was horrible. Finding large pieces with-out allot of rot and huge knurled knots every three inches was almost impossible.
But, the one's I have are almost all finished. And pic's on a PC just simply will not do them justice! They are all finished with a "{System Three), (Post Cured,Heat treated, Two-part Epoxy). Then that was covered with a catalyzed, (Cross-linked), UV protected, Polyurethane. Then- "Buffed, Polished and etc." with the full, "Mirka System", (From Finland) So they are, "Nearly" indestructable under any normal, house-hold conditions.
That was a mouthfull!

The pricing for these is going to start around $200. If you read the above you'll understand why. I have maybe 8-9 that I am planning on selling right now. But I am actually not trying to make a profit with these. They were simply a labor of love. And I "wish" to recoup at least a portion of what I spent on the one's I do not need. And I neeeeed the room, "Believe me"!
I am just beginning work on two entirely different types of stand and also a rack system. "That may be expanded at your convienience" as well. These will be made with the intention of being sold. (I hope)!
Why? Because just about everything out there currently just, "Looks kinda cheesy" to me. Or it is priced out of the reach of most.
Any further thoughts on this would be appreciated.
And If anyone ever needs any tips on "State of the Art" finishing? Or the finishes available? Just ask. Because I am pretty up to date on this, from "Concrete" to "Carbon fiber"! And a few things about speaker builds as well.
