Lenses, ballast and bulb are on the way. Next week I'll order the LCD and build the box. I should get a couple of those squirrel cage fan case fans too while I'm at it.
What do you think I should do with the box? I was thinking of using poplar or red alder for the main construction (keep it as light as possible) and then using a nice cherry burl or redwood lace burl veneer and a basic oil based finish. Brass fixtures of course.
Then again, lacewood would look good too with a light stain....or maybe a quilted maple/ebony combination. Crap. Time to dig out the catalogs.
