Looking for hand-made balanced palette
I'm trying to find a light-weight wooden painter's palette that is weighted, balanced. I have seen them for as much as $150. Can anyone suggest a nice one for less? I heard there is a gentleman who makes them for about $70 and then another $70 for the box.
Thanks for your help...please email me at [email protected]. I don't check the Forum very often.
Many thanks,
Jean-Marie Koch

I made mine with only $5.00. You just need the measures and someone with the equipment.

Claudemir: Thanks for your information. I don't have a way to make my own, as I have no saws, etc. But I think if I had the pattern I could find someone to make it for me. Meanwhile, I'll keep looking for a source.
Many thanks,
Jean-Marie

Jean-Marie,
I think you might be thinking of the Lee Boynton Palette.
It is a beautiful handmade balanced palette. I've had mine for 14 years. Here is his website.

Peggy: Thanks for the information. I checked out his website and I think he may be the one referred to me. Which size do you have? The large one or the small one? Did you also purchase a box?

Max at Realgesso is apparently on the skill saw right now. Take a gander at this slew of posts from Cennini
