Speakers look amazing !

Thanks guys… sound pretty darn good too.

Thanks Jonas. I’ll investigate Sonority. BTW, the rumour I heard about Fraim was that Naim would have used aluminium instead of glass if the cost hadn’t been so high.

Nice speakers…look top notch👍

Stunning speakers, is the stand made from the same wood?

I love the woodgrain on those speakers. They seem to melt into the room.

Superb carpentry work. Well done!

Stunning speakers and gorgeous wood grain. That must have a been a great delight to make.

They are made from MDF and veneered in real Tasmanian black heart Sassafras. Quite a rare wood. The dark grain is from a fungus. The stand is made from ash. Yeah it is definitely very rewarding. Thanks for the kind comments! :+1:t2:

Have you oiled them? Is it a hard wood, it looks lovely.

I think it is classed as a hard wood. They aren’t oiled, i used a matte polyurethane sealer as it doesn’t discolour and the matte makes it easy to get an even finish. Also i hope that it locks up the surface and prevents issues like cracking and peeling over time. Real wood veneer can have issues if it is subject to expensing and contraction from humidity etc. It was literally slices straight off a log.

Did you make the veneer yourself? They look incredible

No i got it from a guy in Tasmania. There isn’t much of it around i am pretty sure most of the trees are protected now. You can find it but its expensive. 8 sheets of it cost me the equivalent of 250 GBP.

Like wow…you make some uk speaker manufacturers look amateur.

well i suppose when you do it yourself you can really spare no expense. Take a look at the crossovers. You have to spend a fair bit to get crossovers of this quality. I simply cannot afford the equivalent quality in manufactured speakers. The only designs i would trust is Troels Gravesen.
