That is just what I need to build to serve strings on or with. If ya don't mind what are your materials especially the bent or bowed metal pieces that the hooks fit into.
Funny I was just thing about building one of those things the other day.
Thanks sure does look nice. :D

I had an idea for an inexpensive serving jig. I used some heavy duty shelving brackets, one 48" - 2x4, 1/4x20 hardware(two - 4" hooks, four - 2 1/2" bolts, eight - nuts and eight - washers), all for under $14.00. I wanted a jig I could work over and not be obstructed. It is small and portable or can be bolted/clamped to a bench.

There's a picture and a diagram with specs of an easy but extremely sturdy one on the second page of my website. If you want something better let me know and I'll post something for you.

Mine is two times bigger than it needs to be, but I just used what was laying around my shop at work and was to lazy to cut it down to a smaller size. The ends are metal.
