Tonearm board makers?

My consideration regarding a new tonearm board has been based on the assumption I would be keeping my old, existing VPI HW-19 MK 3 table. But having mulled over my other option long enough, I finally decided last night to go with a new Raven One. Once I've settled on a new arm choice I'll feed that information to Jeff Catalano at Highwater. Thank you all for your suggestions.

Doing my own out of stainless steel, purpleheart, and two different damping materials.

Thank you Schiss and Stanwal. Sounds_real, I am currently using an aluminum/brass board, cut for my SME IV.Vi. This a/b metal base sounds very good, but I'm anticipating going with another arm which will require a different cut out, and I'm not certain regarding the material[s] for it.

Any local shop should be able to do wood or acrylic; a machine shop should be able to do metal.

Contact will nash www.nashwoodworking.com. He's an expert craftsman with a passion for hi-fi. He's located in Bend Oregon and works frequently with northwest Myrtlewood (very cool) but will use any wood you desire. He's an expert at solid heavy plinths. Good luck.

I think you should let us know what material you have in mind. Do you have a template?
