Looks Nice Mike

Adding wood edge to all sides is a good bit of extra work. Especially when you're making the round end at the veneer. Love to see how a 3/16 round edge would work on these.
Is that maple panel material under the dye stain?

I appreciate it coming from a master craftsman such as yourself! I'm glad I don't have to do the work . . . not enough patience in me. Right now we're still experimenting with the inlaid vs. full veneer.



On this one, the finish is just on the round -overs with the veneer feathered in . . . .way more work than I'd want to do :)

Mike,

Looks awesome!

Looks like the pearl white is linked to an inlaid maple pic though.

Since you're experimenting - try maple with ebony edge (assuming your finish guy can get sealer on it without bleed from the black to blond) and finish satin clear.

2nd choice is all maple with normal stain or clear. The end grain and wood will finish uneven in color but look much better than the paint effect of using dye (which evens out the color but washes away the depth of the wood)

Each box would be `One Of A Kind' Beautiful!

I can hear the complaints - they don't match! Why Not? You'd never sell it.

Just dreaming I guess ;)

Those look great Mike.  I particularly like the Mahogany and Rosewood.

These all look just great.  When I heard you were going to offer the XLs in wood I was puzzled on how you would deal with all the rounded corners, but they came out perfectly.

I think the cherry and inlayed maple are particulary sharp.  The inlayed panels mimic your previous cabinet style.  

You should consider offering an option of white/cream colored grills at least for the whites/maples.  I think that could solve a spousal acceptance issue for those few folks who do not think that ones audio system should be the centerpiece of the room.

Really nice work.
