I think the curvature will be perfect.

I already see some imperfections to the final product, but as this is the first try I have to cut myself some slack.

I am pretty sure that I will be able to make a pair of perfect units after this first “prototype 😁

Before starting, I opened up the speaker and checked for foam rot. It has white foam, so no need to open it again.

Looks absolutely amazing Leo! If 4000’s are meant to have wood on them, this is the way to do it! 😁

Ok, Ok but most important: do they sound warmer? 😁

Maybe this will give them that tube-sound everyone is talking about 😁

I think the wooden BL4000 wood look nice to that one, Spassmaker :)

All this reminds me a funny little story.

When I was young I was interest in photography and above all in photography gear.
At that time Canon released à "ground breaking" middle range camera: it was the EOS 50, eye driven focus, lots of focus targets and whatever else I can't remember. But the most marketed feature was it's silver finish. Camera that have always been silver with black leatherette had long been replaced with more modern look in satin black finish making them all dark. Now that camera was very desirable in it's vintage silver finish and everybody (including me) wanted it around his neck.

After a short time, Canon released a very special new desirable edition of it's EOS 50 in black finish… At additional cost!

Finished product. I had a lot of fun making this. Working with wood is something I hope I can experience more. It is very therapeutical. Highly recommended 🙂

And I am damn proud of this one!
