I'd like to make a suggestion for the VaSSallo series.
Perhaps you could give customers the option of having or not having the grills and associated grill mounting holes.
Personally, if I someday acquired a finish as lovely as that burled walnut, I'd want to see as much of it as possible all the time and not be distracted by the mounting holes.
Ian, it is very gracious of you to participate in this dialog. Thank you very much for your time in this regard, and especially for your ongoing work.
