Yes I am pleased with the polishing.
If existing owners of my ebony armboards want, I can offer a polishing service.
I could do that at low cost + p&p, and return in post same day.
Please contact me for details.
Best Regards,
Steve
No:) but some might like it though.

Still final rubbing down and polishing to go.
As for the wood. It's African Blackwood. Slightly more dense than Ebony and harder. Nice grain to it.
One more for BobC of the Wam to go under his amazing plinths

and an ongoing bass horn project: 1.2m exponentials that will be fitted out with a 15" bass drivers.
Designed and modelled this to give optimal performance 80Hz to 400Hz. This will be part of a 5 way system.
