Built to display a collection worthy of the wood.
We made this custom sword stand several years ago for a local client using highly figured maple. The sweeping top rail follows the curve of the swords, while the individual supports were shaped to hold each piece securely and give the entire display a balanced profile.
We previously shared this stand before it reached its home, but seeing it with the collection in place completes the picture. The movement and character in this maple still catch our attention every time we see it.
Custom pieces like this are some of our favorite projects because they begin with something meaningful to the client and are designed entirely around it.
