To complement the custom speaker cabinets Jake had been making, he designed a console. He had a beautiful walnut board sitting around and knew he could make it into something special. The console has a folding lid to cover the compartment for the turntable, a compartment for the receiver below, space for albums on either side, and two drawers to store LP cleaners, etc. The lid and drawer fronts are from a piece that was riddled with tiny bug holes, reminding him of stars in the night sky.
