Describe the project, what makes it unusual, and/or any outstanding characteristics.
We chose to use locally cut Beetle Kill Pine that we dried and did extensive brush sanding on. The finish was achieved by a multi-step sealing and glazing process to highlight the raw beauty of the pine while not darkening it too much. The construction was frameless cabinet boxes of black melamine with all applied 5/4 solid wood panels and detail parts. Features include; acoustically transparent speaker cloth over closed sections for the center channel speaker, subwoofers and tall main speakers, seedy art glass in 5 top sections with recessed Hafele LOOX puck lights, black painted and distressed rustic knotty alder wood top and beadboard back panel, and a integrated cooling fan built into the component section and Berenson decorative hardware.
