Speaker Stand

A love poem to old wood

Our client’s center channel speaker weighed over 30 pounds. Commercially available wall mounts did not inspire confidence. Stern Laboratories was invoked. In exchange for verified destruction of the invocation sigil, we applied ourselves to the problem.

The result is ridiculously overbuilt: malleable black iron pipe fittings and weathered barn wood with a silvery patina. There is an argent dignity to boards that have endured decades of sun in the American West. It cannot be found in any other material.

Readers who need beautiful reclaimed wood and don’t have access to unlit backcountry roads near abandoned barns and corrals, talk to Mark at Got Old Wood ↗. His shop is candyland.

If you DO have access to all of the above, the Lab has a pickup truck and keeps irregular hours. Reach out.
