The legs of our Basic tripods are constructed from Eastern White Ash. Its outstanding qualities of
strength, stiffness, and dimensional stability make Eastern White Ash a particularly suitable
material for tripod construction. Each piece is individually handcrafted to precise dimensional
tolerances, then coated with a beautiful yet durable lacquer finish. Finally, the parts are sorted
by color and grain pattern into matching sets to be assembled. The tripod heads are machined from
poured aluminum castings, not stamped from thin sheet-metal. The straps are stainless steel for
extra strength at stress points. All metal parts are richly coated in wrinkle-black epoxy and
baked in a finishing oven. Nothing provides a more durable metal finish than baked-epoxy
powder-coat, yet it looks particularly attractive silhouetted against Eastern White Ash. The
combination is equally at home in the drawing room or in the field, a perfect combination of
ruggedness and beauty.
