Exotic finish is called Twisted European Walnut but construction is noted as Maple/Mahogany..............satin chrome hardware.
Described as MINT condition and built in 2014.
Asking $6,500.
The 2014 price at 35% off retail would have been $7732. I don't know...is $1200 off of a $7.7K kit enough of a 'deal' to make it worth it? My last DW kit I got at about 42% off retail, so that would have made that kit about $6,900 new...so, only $400 off?
By the way, Ricardo, I'm sure you're aware that DW can put any kind of exotic wood on any kind of shell construction. So, they can put that twisted walnut over maple-mahogany, or over straight maple or birch or cherry...or even over their new oak or cherry-mahogany shells...
