Follow-up on my quest for simple bases for straight keys...
I have bought plinths made for awards - made from oak, mahogany and similar - from eBay. They come in a variety of sizes since shields and emblems do as well, and fit everything from a J-37 or WT 8 AMP upwards.
As well as stick-on rubber feet, you can choose self-adhesive green baize for the underside, giving a real old-world finish.
