Title: Custom Box
Post by: jlucas on February 26, 2023, 02:40:39 PM

My neighbor is a wood worker so I had him build me a custom box out of walnut for my soon to be assembled Moreplay kit.   The corners aren’t really needed for strength but I thought it was a nice added detail. Overall I thought it well worth the $75. More of his work and contact info https://www.facebook.com/KneisleyDoneWoodworking2021?mibextid=LQQJ4d

I dig the corner splines. I did the same on a pair or 300b monoblocks with curly mapel and walnut splines.

Those really are very nice!  How did you engrave/burn the Bottlehead logo?

I'm late to the party (pretty typical for me), but wanted to say that I really like that walnut chassis!  I used walnut and a tiger striped maple for my amps - you can find a few pictures of them here:  https://forum.bottlehead.com/index.php?topic=11749.msg109795#msg109795 (https://forum.bottlehead.com/index.php?topic=11749.msg109795#msg109795)
