Juan gets the real credit for these. His veneering skills are over the top.
Wait til you see the next pair of supercharged ST's in the pipeline. He book-matched the small veneer pieces up and down and all the way across the speaker on all 4 sides and you cannot see the seam. This veneer looks like a huge paint splash on the speaker - doesn't even look like real wood veneer. The customer found it, now the hunt is on for more of it!
The team at the shop is THE BEST! Laid back, skilled, friendly (except Mary of course

) and no matter your custom choice or stock finish, they make sure it is right as if you were their first customer.
And Marty has it right, the finish is like looking into the deep ocean or a fish tank. There is a glossy top layer and if you stand head on they are blue, then to one side they have a brown undertone, and then to another side they have a sea-green look - aqua-like.
We're going to put some goldfish tattoos on them since they look like fish tanks.
I will pick them up around 5:30 tonight after Jim's tennis match.
I'm a lucky A B Normal guy.
