FLUTE STANDS

Pictured above is a wooden display stand than I make for my flutes. The flute stand can be purchased separately for the display of other flutes. This flute stand is a good way of using up small scraps of wood that would otherwise be thrown away. The flute stand provides a nice throne for your flute to sit on when not in use. I think there is a certain sculptural grace to this flute stand that complements the flute. The stand is given a couple of light coats of polyurethane and then rubbed smooth with fine steel wool. The finish itself is hardly noticeable so there’s a nice woody feel to the flute stand. This sets off the flute to advantage. I could have cut corners and made a simpler, less time-consuming flute stand But, that would be like displaying a diamond on a two by four. This small flute stand is, however, not very stable. It would be suitable for a secure place like a shelf or mantel place.
