"Aww shucks" he says while looking down and shuffling his feet.

Thanks guys!

I am liking this look of fronts and backs being the same heights, the top and bottom being inside instead of capping the top and bottom and the sides being in between.

I've done the whole 45 degree corner thing before, but I like how the end grain looks when it is really sanded out.

My co-worker wanted something to show off the wood. so that's what he got from me.

I have maybe another project in me for the rest of the year, but nothing planned, yet.

Been breaking these in. Acacia faces with white ash supports.

Gilf,

I'm not even in the same time zone as you are as far as speaker building!

You have major skills!

Well today I bought some mahogany and some maple lumber.
I wonder how dark wood and light wood would compliment each other?

There are some Tang Band W5-2143 drivers hooked up to an amplifier playing in my shop just to put some break-in miles on them.

Hmmm, sounds like a hell of a place to start a speaker project.
Film at 11:00, 10:00 central.

There is a chance that they could end up with some red on them, or not.

I am at a crossroad today.

My mahogany and maple speakers are coming along at a pretty good clip.

They are all cut out, glued up, and sanded.

Today I started putting the finish on them, so far so good.

I just can't come to a decision on what color to finish the MDF parts of them.

Both sides, the back and the bottom are all MDF.

Several ideas that come to mind are satin white, gloss white, satin black, and of course bright red.

So my question to you all is what do you think goes with the wood colors as they are shown here?






Side view:



And yes, the blue tape comes off!!

What about a cool looking vinyl wrap? There are hundreds of options which you could choose from. Perhaps there is a glowing tube or music theme variety out there befitting a Donnie project?

Looking awesome, Donnie!
Black is always a good backdrop to accentuate national wood.

Match the driver color.  Black is a nice contrast to the wood tones.  Wood looks great, nice job!

I just primed the MDF.

They hopefully will be satin black if my very weak painting skills get me by.

Current state.


When it dries I will sand it flat and add more primer if needed.
