Anyone have a favorite wood? I'm going to be buying some new speakers soon and have them in a custom wood (default is cherry.) I like mahogany a lot but I just saw a picture of the speakers I'll be getting in Bubinga Waterfall and I think I really like it!

Anyone have a favorite wood that you think would look really great on a pair of speakers? Post pictures please!

Wow, Cody, that doesn't even look like wood, haha!
I love all wood, like I love all trees and bees and... stuff.

You can't beat good solid oak if you ask me.

Nobody wants to post pictures of their favorite wood with a nice finish on it for me?

Mahogany all the way. Tough, hard, durable and has a fantastic color.

I'm not sure if cedar works this type of stuff, but the only reason I'd go with that is if the smell is preserved.

Does the hardness of the wood affect the sound?

My favorite wood is morning wood

Somehow this does not surprise me.

I love the smell of cedar.

I would think the wood type affects sound, but only because it does in musical instruments, right?

I figure a soft wood would absorb the noise so most of it projected outward from the speaker. Although the difference would probably be negligible to the human ear.

I wouldn't want to torture the animals with sub-par audio though.

Bamboo would make an interesting talking point and is also a hard wood.

I like Norweigan Wood, isn't it good?

Teak, it has a very nice shine to it, or american cherry, especially those that are red.
