Welcome to Audiowood! (my madcap enterprise...) After many years of doing custom carpentry and renovation work in the San Francisco Bay area, I'm now focused on building unique turntables and other audio furnishing and accessories. I'm also partners with the folks at FiveTen Studio in downtown Oakland, selling compact, high-quality, modestly-priced audio systems. As far as woodworking is concerned, I'm particularly interested in burlwood and other uncommon woods. You won't find much veneer here, nor will you see anything you've seen elsewhere. I'm building things that sound great, that work well, and that enhance musical experiences with their absolutely unique character. Most Audiowood turntables are my designs, but I also enjoy working with clients who have their own visions. I build new plinths for vintage turntables and tables that use all-new parts. My all-new tables usually use the Origin Live DC motor controller and quality bearings. Most tables are designed with spacing for Origin Live/Rega arms, but custom tables can be fitted with any arm desired. In the near future I hope to be producing tables with my own platter design incorporating the excellent Teres bearing design. I am also interested in building unique audio furnishings, including racks, stands, speakers, and audio-visual centers. I'm currently an authorized dealer for Rega, Origin Live, Glow Audio, DHLabs, and Audioengine. I hope to add other value-oriented, high-performance brands to this catalogue soon. I'm happy to provide these fine products to locals and to audio enthusiasts outside the area based on manufacturers' restrictions. At FiveTen, we have a complete Glow Audio system set up and Audioengine powered speakers and wireless audio sender/receiver. Also, The Bachelor is on display at FiveTen, Pod is on display at Magnum Opus Audio (magnumopusaudio.com) in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and I hope to have a new table at Atomic Garden (atomicgardenoakland.com) in Oakland's Rockridge neighborhood in a few days. Thanks for your support! Joel Scilley
