Speaker Cabinet, 8-inch Oval Back Specification, Walnut Color, Handmade

SPF wood, known for its clear tone and unique resonant sound, has become difficult to obtain in good quality due to changes in the wood supplied to retailers, resulting in boards riddled with knots.
Production will cease after the remaining 4 units are completed.

I build amplifier and speaker cabinets in my spare time from my main work as a furniture maker.
I selected SPF wood with few knots from commercially available stock and used high-quality linden plywood for the back panel.
The sound is powerful, comparable to a 10-inch speaker.
We recommend ceramic-type speakers.

The meticulous construction ensures a solid build that contributes to the sound.
We hope you will enjoy this cabinet as a base for experimenting with different speakers and wiring, and for finding your preferred tone.
The wood grain is continuous as the cabinet is assembled from a single board.
The older growth rings are on the outside of the cabinet, just as they were when the tree grew.
The main body is joined using half-blind dovetail joints.
While I strive for careful craftsmanship, please assess the item from the photos, as there may be scratches, dents, warping, chips, cracks, uneven coloring, finish inconsistencies, or speaker mounting marks from the manufacturing process.
Please note that speakers are not included.
