The stands look awesome, but I had some thoughts.

I don't have a lot of use for a (really cool looking) laptop stand. But there are other things that I do have a use for. Mostly chairs, tables (maybe a coffee table with a great design or concept), trunks, boxes, etc.

Those things in a dark finish are really what appeal to me.

I guess what I'm saying is that while the stands look awesome, don't forget the classics that have just as much, if not more, of a market, but also keep doing what you like to do. This is obviously heavily slanted towards what I like to see in woodwork, rather than what I'm sure you really like to make.

I don't know what your intentions are (just doing this for enjoyment or one day hoping to leaving your job for your craft), but there is always a market for quality woodwork and I think your stuff is phenomenal.

Thanks for the compliment!

At this point, I'm mostly interested in smaller items since they're easier to ship to people. Initially I'm just planning to steadily increase the quality and detail of what I build.
