Once in a while you get to make something very special. Tyra, my neighbor, attended a Harlem Globetrotter Basketball Game with her mom. One of the lucky few, she got the Harlem Globetrotters to sign a basketball. So she asked me to make a stand for it.
The stand is simple in form so it does not distract from the real prize. It is Monkeypod, 4 inches. It is sanded to 1000 grit, coated with paste wax, and buffed to a satin finish.
True to design form, it is barely noticed with the Basketball on it.
