I mentioned in a previous post about burl slabs for bonsai display, and thanks to William F. who should be getting some business from bonsai people.
I was asked today about making bonsai stands by a member of one of my bonsai groups. It seems like a laser cut design with some sanding and finishing could do a nice job at a decent price. I'll probably come up with a few designs when I get time, but meanwhile, some of you might want to consider these as a new item to sell as shows. They are simply tables with very short legs, the tree/pot are placed on it for display. Other versions have long legs to stand on the floor. Also a good item for woodworkers that do it without a laser. There are bonsai burseries and clubs all over the place to market to.
Most of them being sold are $125 and up, way up, something like these:
