I guess you'll need to think what makes you unique, the board design is fairly standard (but very well executed by the looks of it), and there is another newish UK hardwood board maker who also does great work with a similar design. Is that a wooden case I spot or is that the bottom of the board (the tweed bit?) If it's a case then that's probably your unique bit, as far as I know most others ony have a flightcase option, even if the board is wooden.
Good luck with it.
The tweed is the bottom of the board, but I do intend to to make a case to match. I guess my unique idea was to do custom/boutique hardwood boards as I didn't think there was any uk companies doing this,without sounding rude but all the ones I've seen over here are doing cheaper hardwood style pedalboards.
Who is the newish company out there?
Need to check out the competition!
cheers
I'm so bad with computers......
For me (others may have other thoughts) a board is nowt without the means to get it to a rehearsal or gig. And the weight of the board plus it's case/bag/box is a thing.
it weighs 5.5kg unloaded, which I think is fine but others may disagree!!
From reading about DIY pedalboards and even the Gorm ones sourcing the case/bag seems to be a difficult thing and, for me, you haven't really got a product until that's sorted. Having said that some of the fancier wooden pedalboards seem to be primarily for the man cave users that will never get anywhere near the dirty floor of a pub on a Saturday night so that might be less of an issue there.
At 5.5kg unloaded that's about twice as heavy as an equivalent Pedaltrain, the real weight comes from the pedals though so once loaded I'm not sure it would be noticeable. Nice looking board BTW.
i know weight will be a big deal tor some, will have to take it into consideration when I do the case
Good luck mate, very impressive!

The thing about Pedaltrains (and suchlike) is that you can route the wires underneath (making it neater) and also put the power supply underneath (saving pedal space).
When I was looking a while back, I did consider the wooden ones, but opted for a Pedaltrain.
There is 4 screws in the top, just have to take them out and all the cables and power unit goes inside. The top has slots in to put your cables through. There is also a kettle lead wired in ready for your power unit
