  1. You should check out Airax… they are a new Australian board rack company. They have clear racks that are easy to use and also have an adjustable rack for vintage boards which is really cool

  2. I made my own wall mounts out of pipe material from Home Depot. I wish I could attach photos of them but it looks like I can’t. I’ll try and copy & paste a couple of them. Nope. didn’t work. They came out great and the boards looked fantastic hanging on the wall at our stairs behind the wrought iron railings and below the ceiling lamp.
