Waiting for the basement to get warmer. Probably start again week after Easter. Just Sanding and finishing left

Well the weather has warmed up and Im finally back at this. I spent all day sanding and also ordered a Bosch 1293D 1/2 sheet sander. Im hoping to get some boiled linseed oil on the project by the weekend.

I finally got to apply the boiled linseed oil.

Heres an update with some shellac applied and partially assembled. Guitarists seeking more info go here

I should point out with the back closed and the 2 baffles painted black, there is no visible indication that there isnt 4 speakers. Additionally the grill cloth looks much nicer then it appears and the frame is not visible normally. What your seeing is the byproduct of the flash. Im going to try again to get better pictures.
