Veracity of the
month...
— each month this page will highlight a truly
unique
"Special Edition" Veracity project...
September This month's highlight Veracity SE project is a walk on the
wild side.
I was finishing a couple pairs in bird's eye maple when
I came across a nice piece of African zebrawood.
I actually had another project in mind for this month,
but decided to push it back to October or November and go with this one.
The zebrawood has a very pronounced grain pattern and I
thought it might be a good contrast with the bird's eye. It makes a nice
alternative to a black front baffle.

what's next?
October or November's project should be something really
special. I recently purchased a stunning piece of 3"-thick, solid A+++ Curly
Claro Walnut. The grain arcs in one direction, while the figuring arcs in the
opposite direction. Colors include a range of pinks, oranges, blacks, browns
and blonds. It was a truly amazing find.
Out of it, we were able to craft a pair of mirror-image,
book-matched front baffles that, when combined with a gorgeous burled walnut
veneer I obtained a few months back, will result in the most spectacular pair
of speakers we have ever produced. I may even do a quarter book-match with the
burled veneer. I'm excited.
Stay tuned...
