The 4 sides are all cut ready to be drilled for some contrasting wood dowels. Top and bottom are some olive ash (just normal ash with streaks of darker hardwood), sides are walnut that also has some sap wood. so two wood colour tones, each with its own two colour tones. This is how i get extra tone!
The front panel will also be olive ash.

some people like roasted maple, I like fried walnut and ash

I have used screws in recessed holes for now... That gives me the option of drilling for dowels later or sticking with screws (or screws and glue) and capping the holes with plugs
I cut the access for the controls and added a couple of bevels, but i need to reduce the thickness of that area by about 3/8" so the amp sits further forward
I left the gap at the top as a main vent and i think i am going to route a recess into the top plate so i can install some kind of grill behind the vent... although the the back will be left quite open anyway.
I want to do something on the front but am not sure what, some kind of pattern/vent design
I may route some handles into the side - not all the way through, just a recess

You lot are too bloody talented...
you may have played this amp in its previous state when it was built into a trace elliot velocette cab i recovered in red tolex and fitted with a tayden true brit speaker. I think i had 3 red amps at that point including the red matamp little rock.
Its definitely better now, and more reliable than my selmer.
the big issue now is my red tolex speaker cab... this amp doesn't match at all. The red cab doesn't match my living room - but enough solid wood to rebuild the cab in the same style would cost a bomb
