Suggestions for side wood panel selection / choice for a custom 2A3 build...
The main chassis will be metal. Left and right sides will be wood.
Current options for the main chassis are black powder coated steel, anodized / brushed aluminium, or stainless steel.
I'm looking for suggestions on wood (type / color / grain) pairings for each metal chassis type / finish?
Your favorite(s) be they commercial or custom builds? If you have images to share, even better!!!
My preference is for understated, refined, and modern...
At present, I do not need to match with an audio rack or console or other furniture / room color choices.
Thanks!
[Note: this is a 4 chassis build]

+1 @corelli "Let's hear from the woodworkers out there." I love American Walnut but in this application it would have to be a very lightly stained and minimal grain board (which I feel is 'tragically' anti walnut). :) As to "how I am?" Had a very rough patch healthwise, May through November, but am slowly rehabbing back to my earlier self. How are things on your end? |
david, I am an advotee of SET. In my younger years was a commercial tree worker/full time climber, so I have an appreciation for wood. (my best life learning experienceI) I have two pairs of mono amps, both by Wavelength. My Cardinal XS came with the optional exotic wood. ($1000 extra, donated to endangered species foundation) Zebra Wood!! I just wanted to share. Good luck on your worthy project! We will be following your endeavor with much interest. |
https://www.woodcraft.com/categories/dimensional-lumber?width%5B%5D=3%22 These are wood blanks that can be used as knife scales (handles). The grains can be amazing and most of these materials are almost indestructible. The one thing to consider with these is the grain comes out even more once sanded-no staining necessary. |
