Troels:
I forgot to attach a picture so here are a couple.  I constructed them from Baltic Birch plywood, which I had to laminate to get to the proper thickness.  They are covered with bubinga veneer I made.  The finish is an oil poly blend sanded to 400 grit between each coat, totaling 15 coats.  I applied so many coats in order to fill the porous grain and achieve  just short of a piano finish.  Additionally, they have such a large base because I upgraded the crossovers to include superior z-caps and cross coils.
These are the first speakers I have ever built.  I have enjoyed the speakers a great deal and look forward to building another of your designs.
Thank you,
Patrick
