Jay turns his wood and resin stands on a lathe and the end results are really beautiful stands that will be nice and gentle on the surface of your glass marbles. The wood stands are really gorgeous, made from chunks of driftwood he finds near his home. The resin stands almost all have REALLY cool sparkle added that makes them WAAAY better in hand than the pics show. They really shimmer as you move them around in your hand, and the colors sorta change as well. Really neat stuff that will enhance the displays for your precious art glass marbles!
