You a very passionate craftsman with great design skills and this piece of old wood brought the best out of you.
Thanks for the blog and I think a big thanks came from your father.

Thanks Kiefer

First of all that is some awesome claro walnut. I really like the understated designs that let the wood do the talking. Second of all, your dad has a pretty bitchin PRS. My father-in-law has a Custom 22 and a 12 string electric in the same finish as your old man’s (I play bass). Third of all, the story behind this piece is as cool as the piece itself. Given that it was taken from the hot tub of a rock star whose heyday was in the 60’s/70’s, you should send a sample of the wood into a lab to see what kind of drug residues and sexually transmitted critters are present in the claro. LOL.

Stunning.

That is really beautiful. The wood and presentation of it is fabulous. I would add one critique if you allow me. I think that you need to find something to dress up the knob hardware. Custom made, brass, turned wood….I think it would add a lot to the finished look. The only reason I mention it is it is so beautiful it deserves an equally beautiful knob.

Awesome music stand. Gotta love that clark walnut !

ACP: I totally agree. I wanted to but I couldn’t find what I needed in brass, and I don’t have a lathe. I wish I did, because turned knobs out of a highly figured piece of walnut and a little brass washer would have been perfect. At least the knobs are easy to change later whenever get a lathe.

Thanks for the comments everyone!

This was a fun blog to follow. It is great to see the finished project. The stand and the story behind it are first class!

I agree with Dan, it rocks! Looks fantastic.
