Here are the latest versions of the A-290 style Tiger Wood horns for the 2" drivers. I have applied two coats of water based polyurethane.

Man those look cool. When I grow up I want to be just like you!
If we knew what the hell we were doing, we wouldn't call it research would we.
Yeah Woody ,
dont forget 'talented' Dude .... I'm gonna have to try and make some wood horns some day soon !

I was sure glad to see you back at it with your beautiful K2 project. If all goes well the wooden horns will be housed in a K2 style enclosure similiar to yours this winter. I need to learn to build more and buy less.

Hi Woody,
thats high praise from you ..... Wood is a wonderful material for recording the love that went into crafting its eventual form ... especially the lighter hardwoods that don't hide the filler that well . And, even if it did, I would know where it was . There are a few pieces in the skip
After all , the K2 is fair game now its discontinued . I'll look forward to your thread .

That are some truly beautiful horns!
Well done.

Those are really nice horns. What drivers are you planning to use with them?

Thanks!
I was hoping to own a pair of TAD 4001's with the proceeds from the sale of the 4355's. Since the 4355's haven't found a new owner yet, I have horns but no drivers. The rest of the story goes back a few months. Instead of gearing up to build a single pair of large format horns, it kind of made sense at the time to do a small production run of four pair. One pair for myself and three on speculation. The original plan was to use a duplicating machine to cut down on the labor involved. After assembling the duplicarver, it was now obvious that it was not large enough to handle the job. Anyone need a duplicarver? LOL
To slow things down further, I injured myself using a rotohammer drilling holes in concrete. Carpal tunnel has currently put a damper on my woodworking abilities. I have three horns completed and have a stack of 10 glued up blanks waiting on me to heal. I will post a few more photos a bit later.
They are beautiful Woody-another awesome job.
These look ideal for a stalled project of my own, a very
aesthetically attractive option to be sure.
Is there a way to make them work with the 1.5" throat 435 Be?

Woody, I'll tell you, you do have talent. Now, I know that IF you could produce these horns, YOU could sell them, and sell enough to finance owning a pair of BRAND NEW TAD-4001. I read about your other things that are limiting factors, BUT YOU CAN OVERCOME THEM! I believe this!
OK, carpal tunnel syndrome means you won't build 100 pairs a month, BUT there must be some medical attention to help with this condition, and maybe some non narcotic pain management? Your horns are really GREAT looking, and IF you could sell three to four pairs a month!!! Because there are people that WANT horns like these, you have already got response to this effect in this thread. Horns like these, made from quality woods, will fetch handsome prices, especially if the prices, even though NOT inexpensive, are still less than those from major manufacturers. And, I also say, WE LOVE INDIVIDUALLY MADE PRODUCTS from small entity people, because they are usually made with tremendous care and pride and attention to detail!
And, YEAH, TH-4001 sound INCREDIBLE on wood horns!
