    Music Stand, Mahogany and Satinwood

    Latest project is a solid mahogany music stand with satinwood inlay, holly stringing, holly and ebony banding and ebony accents. The tablet is solid mahogany with a crotch mahogany veneer. The banding pays homage to Beethoven by representing the first two measures of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony in its repeating ebony and holly pattern.

    Lovely work Roger. Is the height of the stand adjustable too?

    A veritable symphony of form, fit and function. Very nicely done.

    Yes Ted, you can see in photo 3 that the height is adjustable - another ebony turn knob. Impressive!
