Stereo Component Cabinet
Mar 24, 2014
This Cherry and Maple Cabinet was inspired by Christian Becksvoort’s article on routing custom panels; FWW #211. The router arcs have a sound wave appearance and the African Blackwood door pulls are shaped like speaker schematic symbols to maintain the theme. The real functional beauty to the pierced panels is they allow cooler ambient room air into the cabinet while the warm air heated by the stereo components is allowed to rise out beneath the raised top. Danish Oil and Lakeone piano wax finish.

Elliott those maple panels are amazing. Well done!
That's some really nice looking woodworking!
very nice. I especially like the door panels. Great work indeed!!
Great look, really like the panels.
Beautiful work. I've studied the Becksvoort article, but I'm at a loss as to what size of core box bit is used for the cut. I'm thinking either 5/8" or 3/4" diameter bit. but I guess it could even be a 1" diameter. Can anyone help with this? I'd try to experiment here, but my largest core bit is 1/2 inch. Don't think that's wide enough. Thanks.
P.S. I'm doing my cabinet in qtr/rift sawn cherry. I'm a bit worried about how to get a good finish on this routed lattice work, but I've just got to give it a try!
If you haven't seen the Becksvoort article, it the March/April 2010 issue, page 52. Stunning!
