Chuck's  turntable ???

 

It is an old project I started a few years ago and never completed. While I was putting the finish on the speakers, I decided to pull it out and finish it too.  The plinth is made out of paperstone. The base is made from one inch solid marblewood. It will have two arms and be fitted with the mechanicals from a Fairchild 412.

The more I look at luther's veneer he picked the more I like it, I was stuck on the grain but I love the color also. That Marblewood has a cool looking grain also. I love pronounced grain patterns, kind of the reason I do not care for cherry, to me it's just bland.

A light or clear stained cherry reveals the grain.  It is more refined than most.

It's just a close, tight pattern, I like the more open look, but I do like the color of Cherry.

I like all the hardwoods.  Mesquite is a nice grain but really hard on blades.  My forte IIs are all oak, but I liked the walnut Quartets I gave my dad.  My floors where they are wood are oak.  Texas is an oak kind of place.  Pecan is beautiful too.  Another hardwood with a nice grain is mango.  When I see someone cutting one down in their yard, I wish I could get some, but it's always already spoken for, then you see all kinds of expensive table tops and stuff made from it.   Nothing gives so much as a tree.

$8 bucks was good in the old days.

Couple years back i forked over $6bones for Van Halen, Well worth it.

Looking at that pic, reminded me about Guinness, I never liked it. To me it has that taste in beer I try to avoid, like plain Budweiser, that bite or whatever it is ?
