I've got some of that adhesive backed bandage tape. Good idea to use it for the driver covers. it might affect the treble however. at least the variety I've got in front of me....I was using it applied to the back of driver -outer ring of vent holes....had some good affect there.
jav's cups look sweet. nice design....the maple and cherry are quite similar, doubt you'd hear a difference there. the rosewood might show a difference...but not as much as the likely driver variance.
here's where i'm at currently. experimenting with high mass dense lip for driver cradle (rosewood). hond mahog body with maple end cap. thin foam lamination. I don't know whether that thin foam lam is going to affect but it does change the tap tone of the cup compared to without it so it;s affecting the cup's overall resonance...... Plan on a 10min tung or linseed oil bath....threaded inserts to pressure the driver against the rosewood.
