Here we have a beautiful pair of Rosewood RM40s

(at least one pair still available)

And of course last but certainly not least, my pair of African Ebony to be built as a "Brian Cheney Signature Edition" pair

Mark apologized for the dusty camera lens, but you get the picture.

John,

Thanks for sharing the stunning pictures.

Mark,

They are breathtaking, really!

Those would look right at home in a Rainforest Cafe'

So will the RM30's be available in any of these veneers?

My apologies again for the dirty lens...

Whew...

The Rosewood looks MUCH better in person... really these photos don't nail it at all... but I sent them just the same...

I want everyone to know that we use "certified" plantation grown product... I know no one has specifically commented otherwise... but I felt I needed to get that one out...

My Dad and Grandpa Marantz (my Mom's Father) would not have it any other way... and neither would I... We pay about 40% more for these "certified" veneers (not sure how it works in other countries... but over here we CAN buy like this)...

Best to all...

Since they are South American Rosewood don't they *have* to be plantation grown (or exported a few decades ago)? Or are you saying that less legitimate woods are available in China?

Since you brought it up, what about the sources of the other woods?

Brad...

The sad truth is you can get anything in China...

We are very careful with all of our vendors over here on IP issues as well as the above...

Thanks... and all the best...

Well I have a 50% chance of being right, but that very well "may" be your pair.
