Thanks guys, Jim, Mary and crew of course. Opened up the shop for me again on a weekend.
I have them home after a detour to Columbus for the President's Cup. I'm very excited to finally have them home. I did unbox them yesterday when I had some help and they are quite beautiful. Everything I expected and more. I'm sure my pictures won't do them justice but I will try. As just Jim told me, my pepperwood burl has more red when compared with his original SS8's but they match my room much better (I had sent him pictures of the room) I have to mount my TV on the wall first and then re-arrange, re-wire all the electronics. Unfortunately, I leave town tomorrow for a week. I will update with pictures once I have some good ones. I will also be stopping by RMAF this weekend as well. Hopefully I'll see some of you there.
