I'm sorry but I don't remember.It was about ten years ago.An afternoon at the library would turn it up.The salient points were that Strads used delignified wood(soaked in water for years before drying and sawing)and the type of cellulose used for the finish.Strad used flying insects(mainly dragonflies)as the base.Examination of at hand materials showed shellfish(shrimp hulls)had the same acoustic properties,although the orang-ish color of the finish was a little off-putting.Dye could be added.You need to decide how long the molecule chains should be and how they cross-link,and whether the finish should just sit on the surface or soak in to the spaces in and between the fibers.When I played with this I bought cases of full range inexpensive speakers(tv and drive-in-movie types,USD ~$1.50ea)for experimenting.In your situation I would experiment on inexpensive drivers first and inquire as to the cost of re-coning before doing the Fostex.
