D'Mars ODS combo cab

[10thTx]

Made a "soft" maple combo cab for my D'Mars ODS amp. Flamed maple with a sorta quilt/flame front panel piece left over from a project.

Amp cab is amazingly light compared to the smaller sapele speaker cab I was using with a head cab before.

Has a pseudo 3-dimensional fuller tone than before. The wood for the cab was around $60 total. Not much difference in cost than good plywood and tolex.

That is one nice cabinet even with the offset handle bugging me.

That is a beautiful amp! It should be absolutely living room admissible.

Cheers Stephan

That is lovely! Was the handle offset for better balance?

Nice I like working with soft maple when I can.

VERY nice work!

I like the offset handle....sorta like a milder version/look of those "George Jetson" style cabs.

Gorgeous work! Very, very nice!

Nice!
What kind of joint did you use?

Sativa or Indica?

[10thTx]

Yes, the handle position was to have it balanced. I'm already used to it and it looks/feels normal to me.

I used half blind dovetails for the joining the pieces.

Thanks for the nice comments.

Beautiful job - good looking wood makes everything look better. What finish did you use?

[10thTx]

Analine dye applied and sanded off 4x's to "pop" the flame more on both the "natural" and dark wood.

Then a coat of red mahoganey minwax oil stain on the dark wood.

Semi-gloss urethane 4 coats with 800 grit sanding between coats.
