There is an Austrian company, Berlebach, that makes superb wooden
tripods for a limited line of mounts. I had one mated to a Vixen mount
and loath the day I sold it. I don't think they do custom work, but
they might. Here's the link:

I don't think they have a U.S. retailer. I had to work a little to
locate a European dealer who would ship to me in Maryland. Sounds
difficult, but it really wasn't.

With Al out of business, does anyone know if there is a source for nice
wood tripods?
Thanks!
