Tekton pedragon finish

Hey all you Pendragon fans. I've been speaking with Eric at Tekton and put in my order for some Pens! I appreciate all of the insight on this forum and some reviews that helped confirm my decision. All I have to do is decide on a custom paint or go with a standard.
So, has anyone seen first hand what the painted finish looks and "feels" like? The satin finish is a good idea but can the wood grain be seen or felt or is it more like a piano finish? I have no doubt about the quality....just wondering about the final look.
Thanks all

Thanks everyone. I'll ask Eric about wooden finish options and report back in case anyone else is curious. By the way, does anyone know about acoustic products for living rooms. I think I will need some but they have to be acceptable for appearance purposes.

I asked Eric about putting a wood veneer finish on the Pendragons a few months ago and at that time he said his veneer press would not handle a speaker the size of the Pendragon so it was not an option.

"I have the Lore in high gloss black and it's really well done but easily gets hairline swirls in the finish when looking at it under light"

Wow! You mean all you have to do is look at it and this happens?

I am curious to read what you end up with. I personally have not been a big fan of the color of the drivers. I am curious how they would fit in with a Bubinga finish. Is there a photo of the Pendragons in Bubinga somewhere?

I will say, though, that the photo over on Home Theater Review of the Pens in BMW's Cyber Grey Metallic looks the most complimentary of all the photos I have seend.
