    Outstanding work!

    Hats off to Audiobeer for the wonderful job!



    The pictures suck (IMHO), I'm just not feeling up to the challenge of taking the time to take good ones tonight.... L-O-N-G weekend.

    Got to see/hear Audiobeer's L300's tonight. WOW! Look and sound new! This is one time where his "rolling-the-dice" PAID OFF BIG!!

    GezuzHKrist! That is astonishing! Man-oh-man. I can't believe the quality. Wow...

    A couple o' questions, dude:

    1) Why did you go with the laquer? It's beautiful, just different from what I expected. Beauty...

    2) What is this mystical "rottenstone"? Never known such a thing, and being a qualified dang geologist, I have an urge to learn...!

    And, next time though the Arches, I'm taking EVERYONE down to catch a set-or-two of Jake's Leg, wherever they're gigging...!

    Bummer... I'm not. I'm gettin ready for some gigs of my own, down the Rio Grande valley way, next weekend. Lucky me, though, I get to sing and play, and leave FOH to somebody else!

    Soon as I get any hint of being out your way, we will DEFINATELY put something together!

    Laquer is durable. forgiving when a run appears (easy to fix) And dry time between coats is 15 minutes tops!

    Rottenstone is a very fine powder used to get a satin finish (use oi or gloss (apply with water) and it's cheap. Just oil or wet surface, then rub back and forth with a cloth till desired effect is achieved.

    I did hand rubbed oil on my cabs. I only wish the dry time was 15 minutes! It was more like a day or two. Repairability is nice though. Just slop more oil on and rub down, regardless of what you last did (or didn't do) to the wood.

    Of course you'll never get the gloss out of oil that you can out of laquer. At least *I* can't get that kind of gloss out of it.

    Yeah it was a hard decision. Should I use the hand-rubbed oil on the speakers, or should I simply mud-wrestle them?

    Funny, I was just planning to paint my L-100s black! Just kidding. Wonderful work. A true craftsman.
