Busy day - wacked down lots of big weeds, sprayed an acre with a one gallon hand sprayer, moved stuff around for the hail storm [it wasn't supposed to rain today] and got to finger joint the sides. All 72 of them. Also posted a reel about said finger joints to insta that they decided to turn 90°. Mumble...
For those who have put up with me you know I am physically incapable of making plain looking wood projects. This one is no exception.
Drilled the corners.
Cut the corners.
And will fit the Peruvian walnut blocks into the notches like this.
Still debating on doing the baffle rim in Peruvian walnut too. It makes an interesting pattern like this.

Today is glue up. After years of trying to hold small blocks of wood to glue finger joints [I cut them about .020" proud] I noticed a jig I made for a really foolish project and made a couple more to glue up the last side.
Also cut the walnut corner blocks and started to round them to fit.

Hi Eric,
EC repro as I have a bunch - thinking I didn't have any last year and ordered a few yards more. The move uncovered the happy accident.
Working the corner blocks -
gluing.
I try to cut the fingers and the glue on bits a bit 'proud' then cut/sand flat.
One side cut and sanded.
An inside corner has a small gap. Here is one of the benefits of contrasting wood.
Squirt in some CA + accelerant [who wants to wait?] and sand it flat.
These are the back corner blocks that need to be notched.
At this point the cab weighs 18.4lb.
