Homemade speaker stands

Thanks for the reply, Freediver,By cutting boards, do you mean a thick 1 or 2 inch laminated chopping block type of thing? If so, they have nice weight.Would you send me a photo?I am not interested in the resale value but something nice looking would be fine. I suspect the $50 wood ones are worth about that!

There are some nice looking stands on the Esty website.You can get some design ideas or buy some premade to your specs.A couple of the craftsmen offer walnut,maple,oak,etc.

steamboy,yes I used 2.5" thick x 12" x 14" for the bases & 1"x 6"x x 8 " for top plates..Search "Butcher Block Cutting Board"on Ebay & Amazon..Wait till you see some of the pieces are AMAZING..You can get threaded inserts & spike kits online..Home Depot has the center post..Search 4"x4" post..Beautiful Pressure Treated Red Cedar for about $10.00 enough to do the set & they will cut to length..6" long Brass screws & your all set..Sorry no pics.This was several years ago..

Stack some concrete blocks and wrap them with wood-effect wallpaper.
