[IC] custom wooden wrist rests?
« on: Thu, 13 June 2013, 16:29:28 »
Seen many of them pop up occasionally, I personally know a few carpenters who would probably be interested in making those for a profit. Just got some questions on what type of wrist rests you like prefer the most.

- dimensions (would be great if this can be universal. but something that fits the QFR would cater to most keyboards I think? and a longer version for Filco TK)
- type of wood (cherry? XD)
- finish


I feel like there is probably someone on GH who already does this, not sure...

unless they have some unforeseeable downside (like they're actually made of cream cheese cunningly disguised as ABS)
