The stands are a little undersized for the 8Pi's (they were made for a different pair of speakers), but we like the look, too. These were constructed by vertically laminating pieces of hard maple into a slab, then rounding-off the edges and finishing. These are 3" thick, and beneath them are 2 1/4" high x 2" diameter solid brass footers. With the footers screwed into the bottom, they're heavy foundations. My brother gets around to it, we'll make a pair that matches the footprint of the speakers, and I'm thinking to make them 4", for a little extra mass.
