Well, not a speaker but I'm pretty pleased with how this came out so thought I'd share.

Love it, especially with the pipe!

Finish is a danish oil to bring out the colour. Let cure for a couple of weeks and then several coats of poly. Cured for another few weeks and then sanded from 400-3000. Rubbed out with automotive compound, polish and wax. Voila!

Very nice!

Looks great!

[Steve Henry]

Stunning!

[andykriech]

Fantastic looking, tell us about the hardware?
Also, how did you prepare the live edge for oiling/poly?
Andy.

That's cool looking! Nice work.

[mattp]

That is just horrible looking. You need to send that to me and I'll just trade you my amazing Wal-Mart special glass rack.

Seriously though...that thing looks amazing.

You know...there are wealthy folk who would pay about 3 or 4 grand for that if it was all pimped out in a high-end store.
(Something you may want to think about.)
VERY impressive BTW.

Hardware is just plain old 3/4 black pipe. The live edge was hit vigorously with a wire brush wheel. Any loose bits or gaps were crazy glued. To be honest,* the bark should probably be removed but my wife insisted it stay on. I love the look but just pray it stays put.

Looks great!

Beautiful work. That finish is stunning!!! Is the pipe one piece all the way through? Or are they in segments?
you know, i think I may have answered my own question. Looks great.

[Carbon13]

Segments. The couplings allow me to level the shelves and change height as needed.
