Hand crafted equipment rack?

Mapleshade Audio?

I have one of THESE and love it. Exceptionally well built, beautiful craftsmanship.

I prefer much thicker maple shelving. 2 inches minimum. Same with the legs and high quality points/cones at the bottom of each leg. I have used Audiopoints for years with excellent results.

Warrenh: Why maple over a denser wood like white oak (or a more exotic wood)?

Does the density of maple hit a sweet spot or do you, like me, just prefer the look of maple?

I'm trying to learn why decisions are made one way or the other.

Thanks!

Have you looked at Splintr Designs? Their Trellis racks are very nice.
