An advertising flyer slows a business selling wigs, hair pieces and wig care products. I recall someone said they made stands for those who use these products. Anyone here do this?

Wig stands?

Central IL Woodturners has done well over 500 of them and donated to the Susan G Komen group. I turned 30 of those.
I have not (yet), but the online group WorldWideWoodturners.org has a number of members participating in an ongoing challenge to create and donate wig stands to cancer patients. One member, Kade Bolger did a Zoom demo and the website has an article detailing their construction.

Thanks.
Two NJ groups, Atlantic Shore Woodturners, and NJ Woodturners, got together and made wig stands for a cancer center in Princeton, NJ. Here's the 3 I made. They actually are all straight. The camera made the 2 on the outside look like they .lean
Interesting form. I was thinking it would be more like the size and shape of a head to facilitate hair dressing.

They don't want a lot of contact between the wig and the support. Some cancer patients can go through periods of heavy sweating, especially during the summer. One of the purposes of the stand is to let the wig dry after they take it off. Most say to use a good polyurethane on the top piece just for that reason.
