Title: Cabinet corners
Post by: duke of earl on March 27, 2010, 09:17:26 pm: I just performed my first tolex job on a 4x10 speaker cabinet. I am looking for some corner trim that is not rounded. I don't want to file the corners to make the trim fit if ya know what I mean. Yall know where I might find some of these?

Van Dykes also has trunk handles, what a Tweed should have:

They also have woven cane, a traditional grille-stuff; and the groove-split used to put cane-weave on chairs nice and pretty (instead of bent-behind and stapled like most speaker grilles).
