Yeah, I don't think curly cherry will do that well out by the pool area, or will it?

7 pages now (and counting)...

The name 'Salk' hasn't been seen this much in print since the 1950's! My brain still goes from the name "Salk", straight to an image of a kid in an iron lung.

I'm such a ninny about the UV effects on cherry, I'm making sure I close the blinds in the afternoon so the evil sun doesn't attack my babies.

Have I gone over the edge?

No! Cherry looks pretty bad when it has pronounced demarcations (shapes) of damage caused by light or dampness. At least you only have one to worry about, 'cept for monsoons.
And boy, is THAT Arizona light baaad. Maybe you could start a Speaker UV Shield biz? Like the foil ones for dashboards.

I'm going out to Costco to buy a case of aluminum foil right now.


I've seen pictures of people's cherry speakers with the lighter colored rectangle where the grills were. Not a good look.

They only come out at night!

(nod to Edgar)

You can use the leftover to make hat liners for the rest of us (before they can contact me again, please!)
I've read that they can't read 10% screens.

Yeah, he probably has winter hats on the coat rack, along with a new unused snow shovel in the garage.

Those speakers do look great!

If any of you fine fellows announce you are visiting Sean, I'm gonna start googling Arizona and hat rack homicide.

Technically, Fred, I think it's a coatrack, but they'll likely be viewed as the same thing by the jury. Depends on what kind of evidence can be presented by the Home Fashion Police and whether or not they can prove motive or, at the very least, intent to commit a crime against decor.
