Seeking recommendations about material, design, makers of low-lying rack for gear

I'm looking to set up a new room with

  • tube monoblocks (2)
  • preamp
  • streamer
  • DAC
  • CD transport.

I've wired the room so that the mono blocks can each sit on a stand behind each speaker.

Questions:

(1) I've been reading about good materials for the mono stands — maple? Other ideas? I would probably like to have them made locally if possible but would consider buying them from a company. Just don't want to pay an arm and leg. Ideas?

(2) I'd like to have a very low-to-the-floor rack in between the monos. Someday, I'll get the gear off to the side, but at the moment, the gear will be in between. Any suggestions regarding the design of this rack — materials? Purveyors?

Thank you.

Where are you located?

I'm in the Pacific Northwest.

I'm starting up my custom audio furniture business. Will likely launch my website in about a month. Just getting my CNC up and running, but the intent is total one-off custom cabinets and stands for audio equipment. Design features are key and my products will be ideal for second systems in living rooms, but the materials will meet needs of discerning audiophiles who want custom stands in their listening rooms.
