Available HT2's in block mottled eucalyptus - SOLD
« on: 21 Feb 2009, 06:18 pm »
I while ago, a cabinet maker friend of mine was working on a high-end A/V cabinet project for a wealthy client.  He was using the most outrageous block mottled eucalyptus I had ever seen.  I immediately ordered some for myself.  Of course, this not the type of veneer anyone would ask us to work with.  They simply wouldn't know it existed.  So it was obvious that I would have to build a pair of speakers using it on a spec basis.  I decided to build a pair of HT2's which are now finished and available.

The color of the veneer is very similar to cherry.  But the block mottled figuring is stunning - very tight and with 100% coverage.

Here are some pictures that do a pretty good job of showing the outstanding figuring of this veneer.



And here is a close-up...



These HT2's are available for immediate delivery.

Very cool veneer and a nice bookmatching job.  I've seen similar items referred to as "bee's wings" eucalyptus, but never this consistent and large of a piece.

Very nice.  What a unique grain structure.  Kind of reminds me of the tread geometry on a high performance directional automotive tire.

I'll chime in with the rest, very nice once again Jim. What level finish are we looking at?

That is our standard satin finish.
