The bottom and top look a lot like part of a cypress knee or even a cottonwood or elm. The first part off the base to the bone part is diamond willow. fantastically beautiful stuff when a nice piece is carved into a wakling stick. Not bad to work with as well when carving. http://carverscompanion.com/Ezine/Vo...e/Article.html

I've finally finished a few projects (the m3 and steps got tired of living in a cardboard box:P)
Edit: forgot to say that I was (heavily) inspired by shiggins: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/showpo...5&postcount=42

AMB m^3 Headphone Amplifier + Tangent STEPS psu:








Myref C stereo-amplifier + kookaburra preamp (kits from twisted pear audio):

Excellent work. You are an artist.
Would you tell us what metal enclosure you used in the M3 amp? I have never been able to find any with a removable top. I will have to imitate your use of wooden end plates.

Someone at Twisted Pear Audio has to be really twisted to name a component "kookaburra." That's a seriously bad-mouth sounding word in some Spanish speaking countries.

I'd imagine that most people only know of it as the bird, not some foul word.
