I probably read right past it, but what wood is this? I can't tell how impressed that I am that someone finally did this! 'Raw wood' should be used like this more often. You can keep more of the original thickness and not that pile of saw dust just to try and make it look manmade so to speak.
Your supporting back structure and other work shows me that you have a good sense of what it actually takes to make these stable.

Good job

Yup, just read the description at US Audio Mart. You are a brave man dealing with hickory! Padak is friendlier. $1,500 is a very good price, and no I wouldn't ship them either. What a nightmare.

Thanks for all the kind words. Yes, hickory is a nightmare, especially this thick. When I first started the project I took the wood to a woodworking/furniture making shop. They wanted $500 just to cut the four holes for the drivers. I had to respectfully decline since this was just an experiment for me. I ended up buying a new saw and got it done myself. A friend and I have a new project idea we are working on and that is the only reason I decided to possibly part with these. If you are in the central Florida area and just want to come by sometime for a listen then give me a shout. Always happy to talk and share ideas with other Decware friends. And yes, Holy Cow, those holey baskets are amazing little drivers!

Wow these are beautiful! Love the care and craftsmanship that is evident in these. Too bad I'm in VA or I would pick them up Sad
