Tonearm board makers?

Do any of you know of those who might be in the business of making tonearm boards to one's specification and desired materials? Kind thanks.

Sounds_real, I am currently using an aluminum/brass board, cut for my SME IV.Vi. This a/b metal base sounds very good, but I'm anticipating going with another arm which will require a different cut out, and I'm not certain regarding the material[s] for it.

But having mulled over my other option long enough, I finally decided last night to go with a new Raven One. Once I've settled on a new arm choice I'll feed that information to Jeff Catalano at Highwater. Thank you all for your suggestions.
