Brad's Veracity ST's in orange burled walnut

Brad wanted a pair of Veracity ST's and sent a picture of what he wanted the finish to look like.  It looked like burled walnut with an orange dye applied and done in high gloss.  So we found a nice batch of burled walnut and went to work.

I have to admit that this finish idea never occurred to me.  But I have to say that I liked it so much, I'm sure I will be doing a similar finish for myself with one of the next pairs of personal speakers I build.

Here are some pictures...



And a close-up...



Happy listening Brad!

I read this with great excitement until I realized these were not destined for ME  :duh:

Amazing finish work again Jim! :thumb:
I really like how the orange brought out the detail in the grain.

Holy c%#p!!!

I don't own a pair of your speakers anymore, Jim, but I like to wander by your room at Capital Audiofest and see what's new every year. Those are beautiful! I could see them gracing your room at a future show!  :thumb:  :thumb:  :thumb:

Can you veneer people? I might just go with that one and save a lot on dry cleaning.

Gorgeous! So many beautiful veneers...so little time and money...lol

Tried to talk the wife into seasonal speakers with different veneers but she isn't buying into it.

Absolutely beautiful burl!  The added color really brings out the depth.   

Enjoy the sound and the sight, Brad!  Nice work as always, Jim!
