Maple Audio Rack

I have one finished and made some improvements over the previous one posted in an earlier DIY thread. I wrapped all the shelves with nicely figured maple. Alot of extra work, but worth it IMHO. The top/bottom natural plates are 2" thick and all edges on this rack are beveled. Five adjustable shelves. No shipping but I am willing to deliver or meet for fuel costs. I am in NW PA, near Erie. $1750 for this one.

Beautiful. What are the 4 uprights made of and what are their dimensions. Also how are things jointed to the top and bottom shelves.And one more thing, are the adjustable shelves solid or laminated over plywood/mdf. How tall, wide, deep.

Thanks! The uprights/rails/stretchers(framework) are all 2 1/4" solid maple(not glued up). The top/bot plates are just laying on corner braces and can easily be screwed in from the bottoms. I don't think it is needed since the 2" thick maple is heavy enough to stay put. Easier to move, but I will secure them if someone wants. The entire frame is mortise/tenon and as mentioned, have hidden corner braces underneath the top/bottom. Approx 48" tall x 24.5" wide x 18.5" wide. Shelves will hold gear up to 19.5" wide and 18" deep. No ply, veneer or mdf. 100% solid maple. The sun isn't letting me capture the figure, esp on the top. I will take some better pics later.Jeff

What type and color is the stain? Very nice work BTW.If you can't hear a difference, don't waste your money.

No stain. It is aniline dye. Color is my own mix that I "invented"Jeff

The wrapped edges are a really nice touch. Beautiful work!Political Correctness'.........defined

Jeff,
Nice work!
Are you considering the trade for both a preamp and cd player or one or the other plus cash?

Okay, I need to move this rack soon.........somehow? Since a few are interested at a much later date, I can't really wait that long or I will be building a custom doghouse. I will consider a nice ss amp to drive 2.3tls's or/and cash. Maybe a good TT or CDP in the mix? Whatever may work?Jeff

I know a few were interested in this rack that I listed awhile back. I have been on the go so much and out of town. Reduced to $1500.Jeff

I will consider a possible trade of sorts for a good SS amp? If no offers very soon, then it will be off to agon.Jeff
