Flute and Piccolo Stands by WoodWindWoodWorks  
Handcrafted hardwood flute cases, crafted by flutist/woodworker mostly for the art of it.  Walnut, maple, cherry, mahogany in solids (i.e., solid, uninterrupted cherry, or walnut, etc.) and mixed patterns (e.g., a thin maple strip cutting longitudinally through an otherwise solid walnut case, a slash of bird's-eye maple through an otherwise cherry case, etc.).  Most are crafted as flute + piccolo cases; some for flute alone.  (Piccolo supports are, to my knowledge, universal to any brand; flute supports in the majority of the boxes are adjustable to slight variations in length of the flute body.)  Contact:  plpearce@intrex.net
