joshatatlasstands Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 This is the latest completion heading for the Nashville Amp Expo in a couple of weeks. It's a solid butternut guitar stand with my old modded late 80's Epi SG, one of my first halfway decent guitars. Great for some Sabbath. It's made from timber that was downed right here on the property two+ years ago. We thought it was an oak tree when we saw that it was dead and needed to come down, but when we smelled it after the chain saws stopped it smelled a lot like walnut. Sure enough it was butternut, or "white walnut". It's turned out to make some very nice stands since then.

joshatatlasstands Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Thank you! I hope we can turn some heads at the show. Finished this walnut pedal board this week… I made it to fit my personal pedal configuration and needs. I'll put my tuner off to the side because I'm not sure what tuner I want to settle on. It's powered, shielded, and has an on/off switch.

Two matching Wormy Chestnut “Micro” amp stands... Here's the build thread: http://www.atlas-stands.com/index.php/forum/atlas-stand-build-threads/1405-vox-ac4hw1-reclaimed-american-chestnut-micro-atlas-amp-stand I love this old timber, it's amazing to work with. It came from a reclaimed barn in North Carolina near here. Both stands weigh 8.25 pounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshatatlasstands Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 You can use it to sit on when you get tired Yep...I've done it in the past while waiting for a show to start...the studios and low riders are the best amp stands to sit on, the micro design isn't too comfortable though.

badbluesplayer Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 The chestnut is really nice. So is the butternut. I'll bet the chestnut stuff could sell for big bucks. You could make a hand hewn chestnut model - to give it that old timey look. You do great work, Josh!! [thumbup] Now I gotta get me a chestnut timber somewhere. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshatatlasstands Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 ChanMan, you should like this one, it's from the same tree as your amp stand. It just has a different finish. finished it last week...needing more hours in a day here lately. Looking forward to the Nashville Amp Expo this weekend. http://www.nashvilleampexpo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pictures of amps balanced precariously on a plethora of bizarre objects again? Missed this earlier Farns, sorry. Yes I think that would be the way to go. Fun with gravity. I should have a random drawing instead of a voting contest for sure though. Nervous and anxious and excited about the Nashville trip. Fingers crossed. Thank you for the well wishes.

joshatatlasstands Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 We decided a couple weeks ago to have an amp stand give-away contest once our facebook page reaches 1000 in the atlas tribe...we just need 37 likes and it's on! I love my epi :) Spreading good vibes here and helping our neighbors. Just built this custom Spalted Hackberry Atlas Low Rider w/ folding Kick-Out guitar stand last week. A Table Top fits in the center of the base for use with stacked rigs. Last weekend the Nashville Amp Expo went well, it was awesome mixing with many of the amp and guitar builders. So much to learn with so few hours in a day. Coming up...um...hmmm...Hickory/Pecan Very thankful for all the support y'all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Farnsbarns Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I don't do Facebook but I do have an account to allow a business page so you got one from me. Kinda worthless as I have no friends on Facebook. I prefer to have my friends made of flesh and blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
