I offered up my Sherry for signing at a recent art exhibit. It's been, and still is, a great axe. The amplifier is my 60's Reverberocket II that I rebuilt with a C-Rex speaker to finish it out. It sounds awesome, much tighter with a hardwood cab and much more low end attack. Sassafras and Curly Maple.
This set of matching folding and adjustable keyboard and adjustable modular trumpet stand is on the way to San Fran this week! It's a pleasure when I'm asked by a fellow musician to build something I've never built before!
The leather work and wood bending on these stands was a lot of fun.

Designed these two chassis stands recently to clamp down on an amp chassis so it can be spun all the way around. Very pleased to be dialing in on the final design, it's come a long way.
I picture Josh as Nick Offerman using only tools from the 19th century.
Its bonkers how cool this stuff is. I'd be afraid of gigging with the amp stand because I destroy everything, but I still want one at home. Looks artisan quality.
Just finished up this low rider atlas amplifier stand with table top. I used reclaimed Wormy American Chestnut barn rafters this time to fit a Carol Ann OD3 amp head and a Hard Trucker Speaker cabinet.
In the meantime, just wrapped up this set of Paulownia guitar stands this week to match an amp stand we shipped out a few weeks ago. The should make for a nice music room!
Been out of the loop for a bit; been developing a more affordable modular amp stand design since back in Jan 2016. I'm calling is the Standard Series. It still has backrest extenders, it also still has the matching table top that stows under the base for transport, and I'm currently working on including the Kick-Out guitar stand as well. Here are a couple pics of where I am with all of it:
Haven't been taking as many pictures of completed builds recently, gonna try and do a better job of it before I send things off moving forward. This is a chestnut micro I built recently, pics taken with my crappy cell phone:
Wrapped up this walnut guitar stand recently as well, more phone pics from the bench.
Working on a few pedalboards this week using walnut and cherry to match the design of the amp stands I've been working on.
These two pedalboards are 22x10 inches in size. I'm planning on building two sizes, just like the amp stands. My next batch of larger pedalboards will be 24x12 with a slightly wider center port for cables to pass through. No bells or whistles on these boards. I figure if someone wants they can easily disassemble one and mod it for power plugs, switches and surface mount hardware. They ended up being super strong. Hardwood is amazing when it comes to strength and durability.
Finished up a sassafras Low Rider amp stand over the weekend. I has the a Kick-Out guitar stand built into the front. Built it to fit a Swarts AST Pro combo amp and a set of Anderson guitars for a guitarist out West. I used my sassafras cabinet Ampeg Reverberocket 2 and my old Epi Sheraton II to test it out.
Just under 7 pounds in weight with an 18.5 dergre tilt angle and a 4.5 inch cabinet lift at back of cab.
