WANTED SWORD STAND

Hey Gav,

On another note, have in the past picked up select hardwood from a wood specialty store and then had a cabinet maker build a sword stand for me. When they are made not to come apart for transport they are much easier to construct. The one I had made was from rosewood and ebony to hold four swords and was done in a style to go with my furniture which I also had made from rosewood, ebony and birdseye maple.

There are advantages to having one made, you can have the cut-out area designed to fit what you have. For example, a islamic sword will usually sit at an angle in a Japanese sword stand. While in a custome made stand the Islamic sword can sit upright and not be subject to slipping in the holder if bumped.
