Curly Maple End Caps for 2.3's

musky1963

Here is a nice set of figured end caps for 2.3 and 2.3tl Polks. These and the rack I have listed look much better in person as the sun doesen't do my wonderful picture taking skills any justice :redface: $250 shipped.

Beautiful Jeff! I have to ask. How did you sand these so flat (after you made the panels)? Did you use a small hand held belt sander or one of those large commercial panel sanders? I'm going to attempt to make a set in dark walnut for my 1Cs. Have you even done these in walnut? Hmmmm.

I have a large peformax belt sander. You still have to use a random orbit sander to remove lineal lines from the belt sander. Yes, I can do walnut, which would look nice. Don't even attempt to use a handheld belt sander as you would never get it flat.

Thanks for the advice Jeff. Yeah, its all about the right tools. I'll PM you regarding the end caps.

Tried to PM you but your box is full. Message below.

Hey Jeff,

Ok, about how much for a pair of solid (1 to 1 1/4 inch thick) dark walnut endcaps for my 1Cs? Finished and unfinished? I actually already made some panels out of 4/4 walnut (one board) that came out very nice but were too thin (in my opinion). So, looking at other options.

What finish did you use on the maple endcaps? Feel free to PM me.

Thanks!

Those look great! Nice work.

I'm also curious how you finished them.
