Look what arrived this week! I lifted shade only to expose them to sunlight for the pix, but I of course otherwise keep my gear out of the sun. I'll write something up after spending some quality time.
Mine is the all Vegan version. I placed the order on January 28. A couple factors to keep in mind, I placed it before they announced the Leopardwood on Feb 13 and because I switched to that, I lost a couple weeks in the queue, and as it was the first batch of that special edition, it took a bit longer. Pandemic didn't help either. It's all good, was nice to have something to look forward to.

Dark! It looks lighter with the direct sunlight, but it's as darkest stain he'd tolerate -- I asked for black but he wanted to keep it within the range of stains they normally offer. Been listening to the new Elder - Omens album (out Friday officially) on 'em, and so far it's all YUMS.

A little behind on having the wood cut, although we do have it in. We're concentrating on leopardwood right now but I'll provide updates here as we get that going.

Quote: "The process of stabilizing wood involves drying the wood to get rid of any moisture that it holds. The wood and a stabilizing agent are then placed in a chamber under a vacuum. This removes any air from the pores of the wood and fills any voids. It is then treated to a period of high pressure which forces the stabilizing agent to completely penetrate the wood. The wood and stabilizing agent are then heat treated which turns the liquid stabilizer in to a solid. This adds weight and hardens the wood. "
Doesn´t that mean, that it just loosed its wood character, and replaces the individual tonality with a plastic like, repeatable materialmix? I mean I love the design, but isn´t it just a design gimmick that adds weight and removes the wood signature?
