Custom furniture in Portland, Oregon
My stands are routinely featured in leading bonsai publications and are an integral part of several award-winning displays. A well-crafted stand will elevate the presence of any bonsai tree. I am happy to create custom stands that work for one or multiple trees. I am comfortable designing both traditional and avant-garde stands and I am happy to suggest designs and sizes to best suit your trees. You may also purchase ready-made stands from Bonsai Mirai. – insert LINK-
