    Wood Horns

    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.

    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.

    Thank You Sir

    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 .

    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?

    I know that they sell adapter plates, but I am going to try and produce one in the shop to to deal with the issue.
