Step 10: Enjoy
The first test the speakers got were at an art exhibition for the work that the Elm Tree Project had produced and I am happy to report that they sounded amazing! The quality of sound and heart warming sense of accomplishment that comes from building your own speakers never ceases to amaze me, let alone when they're constructed from something as unique as the branches of several hundred year old elm tree.
The speakers were recently shipped across the country from storage at my folks home in New York to my home in Oakland, CA. They now reside happily in my living room and are my main speakers. Their entry back into my life was the inspiration that I needed to write this Instructable. Hopefully this Instructable will inspire someone else to make a pair of speakers out of something else unique and interesting, and the cycle of creativity will propel itself forward into the future spreading joy and ingenuity.
I'm very proud of them, and to this day, even after all the different things I've made, these unique tree speakers remain one of my favorites.

The only thing that I can think of that would make these any better and at the same time cooler would have to be wooden cone drivers, and yes they make them. Truely awesome speakers though.
No, just kidding. This picture is actually from a gallery space that they were being shown/played in.
