Title: [IC] custom wooden wrist rests?
Post by: phx 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...
