Wow, absolutely stunning! I bet its looks aren't the only thing that stun people. Dual loaded TT with 860W drivers must be pretty brutal.

I'll bet it's pretty similar in output to yours, so you can probably imagine. It usually surprises everyone who listens to it, especially when I downplay it by telling them "it only has 8" drivers" before they hear it. 8)

Thanks to everyone who has commented.

Sure thing. First, I applied 3 or 4 coats of black stain to the entire top, including the edges, and let it completely dry. Then I used a 45 degree bit on my router to make the chamfer around the edge and applied lighter stain to the unstained wood. Then I used satin polyurethane and lightly hand sanded between each coat to level it out. It took about 5 or 6 coats of polyurethane to get it to where it's at now.
