    What's amazing is that the burl pattern is very similar in both speakers indicating they are sliced from the same piece of wood. Outstanding craftsmenship.

    I was looking at them and it looks like there is an image of an alien in both speakers lol. You can make out the head, eyes, brows, nose, and looks like the mouth is open with Predator type pinchers lol. Also kinda looks like it leads down into a neck and torso.:eek: Or maybe I just didn't get enough sleep?:tongue:
    I love animals, they're delicious!

    Those have too much gloss, the sound will slide right off of them. I'll pass.
