When we build speakers for ourselves, we often use them at shows. That being the case, we are always searching for unusual veneers and finishes. Once and a while, someone who sees a pair of these "show" speakers just has to have them. That was the case with our recent Exotica 3 show pair done in an unusual batch of highly figured walnut shot with an orange dye.
Naturally, we had to replace them or go without a pair of Exotica 3's.
This time around, we did a special dye technique over a very nice batch of burled maple. I think they turned out quite nice.
Here are some pictures...

These were also done in a hand-rubbed, high-gloss finish.

Happy listening to us!
