Stories in Wood – The Axe Guitar Stand

If you’re seeking a guitar stand that seamlessly blends functionality with aesthetics, look no further than the handcrafted wooden guitar stands from Stories In Wood. Based in Melbourne, this small Australian business has garnered attention for its meticulous craftsmanship and commitment to quality. Liam, from the company reached out to me recently with their range.

Stability and Design

One of the standout features of these stands is their robust stability. I was initially a little worried to start that the stand is pretty light weight, but so far there has been nothing to worry about – this this is solid. The base is set at a wide 70-degree angle, ensuring your guitar remains securely in place, even in bustling environments, it’s taken a hit at full speed from a 30kg dog and stayed standing. Good clearance for a range of scale lengths – although I haven’t tried it with a bass.

One of the issues I have had with some stands is that they are fiddly to get positioned just right, even on flat ground, but no such issues with The Axe.

Variety of Timbers

Understanding that every musician has a unique style, Stories In Wood offers their stands in a diverse range of Australian hardwoods. From the rich tones of Blackbutt to the classic elegance of Victorian Ash, there’s a finish to complement any decor or personal preference. This variety ensures that your stand isn’t just a functional piece but also a reflection of your individual taste.

Australian Craftsmanship

In an era dominated by mass production, it’s refreshing to find products that are locally crafted with care. Stories In Wood takes pride in its Melbourne-based workshop, where each stand is designed and made. This commitment to local manufacturing not only supports Australian artisans but also guarantees a level of quality and attention to detail that’s hard to find elsewhere. The stand comes well packaged and requires 4 hex screws to put together – done in a matter of less than 2 minutes – with everything required provided in the package.

Customer Testimonials

The positive feedback from satisfied customers speaks volumes about the quality and appeal of these stands. One reviewer noted, “Having purchased so many products manufactured overseas in countries such as China, it was refreshing in so many ways to find a good product made in Australia. It’s just a really beautiful, functional piece with a simple yet elegant design.” Such testimonials underscore the blend of functionality and artistry that Stories In Wood consistently delivers.
