The Story

HT1This pair of Veracity HT1's also began life as a demonstration pair for the Rocky Mountain Audiofest.

We were looking through a pile of old veneer one day and came across a batch of beautiful crotch mahogany. I had purchased it a few years ago because I thought it was real handsome. But I never got around to using it.

The sheets sizes were just large enough for a pair of HT1's and Mike, my assistant suggested we build a pair for the RMAF.

I also had some plum pudding fiddleback mahogany lumber laying around from another project. It seemed like a perfect match.

Crotch mahogany is very hard to work with. But if you put for the effort, it will reward you with some spectacular figuring. This is what nature does when it is at its best.

What's next?

Burled walnut is always handsome. Stay tuned...
