Re: Rocket Build "Maxine" cabinet ++ clips added final

Nice build and Nice cab...Everyone always overlooks Ash.It's a great looking wood and easy to work with.
I like those handles as well.Been thinking about them for mine.Antique electronics has got them in a bunch of colors.I,ve used thier black one's on a couple of speaker cabs.
Nice build man.
