The Donut Princess gets a Case
Posted: Wed Dec 02, 2020 12:50 am
After finishing the 1x15 speaker cab, I've been building a matching head for The Donut Princess.
The matching speaker cab is sapele carcase DTed with some wild maple panels I picked up here in Colorado for $6/bf. It's about 8 threads below this one. I used the original 12' x 15"(!) board's offcut and ripped it up the middle for a matching sapele head cab.
I cut the DT tail angles on the bandsaw, then hand chisel/saw/plane everything else. I had less gappy-but-still-gappier-than-I'd-like dovetails so I did the glue/sawdust trick to plug them up a bit.
Progress so far:
