We do lots of custom platforms and speaker stands for customers with unusually sized components or speakers—or with unusual space and shape requirements for racks. We have built non-rectangular platforms, speaker stands up to 5 feet high, multi-bay racks, racks with staggered shelf heights and overhanging shelves. Based on that extensive experience, we are happy to offer in-depth design ideas and advice to solve special room, décor, or system problems.
Where our handsome clear lacquer finish doesn’t fit in with room décor, we offer custom options of cherry, rosewood or black. Coloring maple is surprisingly tricky; standard wood stains give very mixed results. So we hired a finishing specialist to work with Ben to develop for us special toned lacquer blends with a five-step finish, all tailored to the unique problems of staining maple. And the results are stunning! The Natural Cherry matches wonderfully with many warmer golden-hued finishes and doesn’t obscure the distinctive grain of our maple. Deep Rosewood is a rich, dark, beautifully reddish finish. Our Semi-Gloss Black has a fine satin sheen.
For those with starkly modern rooms or avant-garde tastes, we offer vivid color dyes: brilliant straight red or strong blue-green, both so clear they highlight the stunning grain features of our maple. And there’s a transparent black dye that lets the wood’s character shimmer through.
Toned lacquer, black lacquer and dye finishes can be custom-ordered for any maple product. Email orders@mapleshaderecords.com or give us a call for more info.
