DIY speakers of solid/reclaimed wood?


This popped up on FB today and got me wondering if solid wood would be a bad choice for speaker cabinets.Seems it would be unstable and tend to warp.They are pretty little things.I'm sure interior designers love them:)

Reclaimed lumber is actually a verygood  choice just liken making guitars .old lumber all the moisture and resins are dry and acoustically much tighter. Once your uusesevetal natural costs of a tongue oil , or something natural ,Not polyurethane allows the wood to breath . I prefer tongue oil in ships have been using for hundreds of years let each cost dry the finish not only is more durable ,but as a added benifit it breaths and is water resistant .
if you can get it in a natural finish you have a winner. My friend is a custom cabinet maker so I learned a lot obout the best applications.
