Custom SBH photos ... *photos added* 1st time ...

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
Well ... after some effort, and a LOT of learning from my mistakes, I finally have my Ebony wood Blue Circle Audio SBH amp finished. This is part of a 6 part series, as I am making 5 more custom covers from different exotic woods. I plan on using each for two months, then switching it out for another one. Keeping a new and fresh look throughout the year.
The wood fought me terribly with buckling up. So I bit the bullet and bought a vacuum bag system. So I expect the next 5 to be flawless. I'm also turning a boat load of custom exotic wood knobs on the lathe.
Tomorrow, I will update this post with photos of the matching custom power supply














First edit : Here's a teaser of the very first knob made while setting up the lathe. Ambruyla burl knob ... Horrible lighting, and worse photography.

Verrrrry nicely done, downsize! Talk about giving some "warmth" to the amp! Love the brass knobs you chose as well. Seriously, it makes the box so much less sterile! Please share the other 5 out of the series when they come up! Great job!

Thanks guys. I am looking forward to seeing the results of my next ones, after learning so much from doing this one. Looking back, I probably should have picked a less expensive wood to learn on
