David AbbeIdle minds and Watch Stands
I have been asked sometimes to let people know where I get my watch stands. As the purveyors of such seem to be in business about as long as a "dry saloon", a year back during an "idle moment", I did one stand that sold a few to 185er's which was inspired by a true "downeast" antique I had . . .

David AbbeRecently during another "Idle moment", I fiddled around with a "stressed structure" design to display 12, 16, and 18 sizes. If I had a few hundred of these made (in USA, "you betcha"!), my question is; Wood or Plastic?
(sorry about the little 12, I have yet to put in a new 4th wheel that Brian C so kindly sent me.)

Jerry KingHey Dave, those are nice stands....
For me, I choose the clear acrylic or plastic....
If I wanted to go fancy, I would choose the finished wood stands....

Regards,
Jerry

Ernie LogaI like the clear plastic. The wood is nice but it causes your eye to be distracted from the watch, which I believe we are trying to show off.

Mary Ann ScottDavid, I would also go with the clear plastic. Wood is nice but you might run into the problem of requests for different color stains, especially from those of us who aren't too good with that kind of stuff
