Woodhorn - solid wood?

[patate91]

I know that solid wood is not recommend for speaker cabinet. But what about woodhorn? Is it ok to use mapple or black walnut? I know that the type of wood will have an effect on sound, but at 90mm I'm wondering if humidity or wrap can alter it?

I'm planning to get Yuichi's A-290 done by a woodworker and he asked me if he can use something else than plywood.

He could use something like a butcher block style.

I'd avoid a solid piece per side, though.

I don't know so sorry for just dropping in but I'm quite curious and wanted to subscribe if answers arise! Good luck with your build as I think its a great idea and can't see why not. Playing with the density of different woods to get different sonic signatures could be useful as well. This could even be a combat for horns that are too bright or fatiguing for some people such as Klipsch.
