Based on a piece by Wharton Esherick currently located in the Yale University Art Gallery. This version is built from walnut featuring hand carved components is set at a comfortable height/pitch for a standing musician. The shelf releases and allows the rear leg to fold flat for easier maneuvering/storage. A secondary ledge is also included to allow space for pencils, with small handmade pegs on each side to hold a bow.

Good Morning. My name is Matthew White and I've been a woodworker since 1998. I'm mostly self-taught and I've been adding to my skills ever since.
By day I'm in the Air Force and I found woodworking to be an excellent creative release. It's also given me the opportunity to give back to those who have served.
I've burned murals for conference centers, built shadow boxes for retired Chiefs, and had my work grace offices in Washington D.C. I've had my work presented to Colonels and Airmen completing basic training.
It has been an awesome experience to share and I'm always open to a new project or challenge.

For Us Air Force E7-E9 Military Retirement ShadowboxI really respect when another person tells me that they are going to put 100% Into something I ask for and give me additional options to make it even better and that’s what Matthew did. Throughout the entire process I knew exactly where he was because he had great communication with me. My retirement is going to be the best it can be and I am honored by his dedication and craftsman. I highly recommend and will most definitely be reaching out to him for future projects!
