Hand-made Wooden Speakers

Anything hand-made and you know it is going to cost you a bomb, since the whole thing takes a long time to manufacture from scratch compared to stuff that roll off a factory line. Well, Jeffrey Stephenson, a name behind many amazing art deco enclosures for small computers, has made good use of his time to construct a matching set of speakers that will sit down nicely with his recent Ingraham.

With some leftover material from Ingraham and some scrap from other projects I decided to build Ingraham a set of speakers. The speakers started out life as Harmon Kardon units that came along with almost every Dell sold during 2000-2004. 5W units in a cheesy plastic case.

According to Stephenson, the brass-inlaid boxes were constructed from 3/32″ birch plywood and veneered in walnut and mahogany.
