I remember a guy from the Dayton Hamfest who made wood stands with green or red felt on them, and he made them from pine and used a torch to bring the grain out in them and stained them to a real handsome finish. He had run out at the show and he gave me his card and I tried to call him a few months later but his phone was turned off. The website was defunct, too. That's too bad because I would have bought several, as they were a good compliment to my pinewood desk, the finish was a very close match. They were very nice stands.
