What kind of wood is that?

 

[FullCircle]

It is called Siamese Rosewood, extremely hard and it has a tendency to change colors as you expose it to light from different angles, the one above turns, black, green, brown,red to orange...

You sir, are an artist!!!
 
Post #2, Post #4...aw heck, they are all just beautiful.

I'm literally in awe as I stare at these photos. These are some of the most beautiful constructions I have ever laid eyes on. Behold, Head-fi, the 8th wonder of the world.

Those are absolutely gorgeous. When you say you start from scratch, though... does that mean you literally build a pair of IEM's from parts? Sorry if that's an incredibly stupid question, I'm entirely new to these things. Regardless, those are incredible.

   It is not a stupid question, and yes I mean I literally buld them up from my own.
 
   All the shell work is my own, the internal design, x-over network, the selected drivers, capacitors and resistors used, the tube selected tube diameters OD/ID, the dampers used... every thing, my work, my design.
 The woods used, selected by me, hand carved by me.
 
  Everything assembled, polished and finished by me, AKA "The Wizard"

I know off topic, but here is an acrylic for those that prefer the acrylic look:

     It is a labor of love, and I thank you "dub Beatz" for your compliment.  (By the way, nice creative Nick)

Wow, these are beautiful!  You should be selling these things commercially.

I have given it some thought

I'm sure these would be rather popular.  They're definitely works of art.  I would expect that they would also be rather expensive though, given the amount of work that has to go into making one...
 
What drivers do you use in these?

 

[FullCircle]

I use Knowles.
 
If I get a chance, I'll post some picst of a set I just finished yesterday.

The art and craftsman reminds me of headphile creations, but a portable version.

This is not the one that I just finished, but this is a "woody" 100% Amboyna Burl Face plate on an amber shell.
