I looks like some kind of plantation kauri. Probably from the islands.
I,m still going to put tolex on.
Custom Audio Boutique getting some fancy emerald stuff in. Try to get it to look something like my amp.

Sorry I didn't look very hard at AX84 site as I already built mine. If you serious about building a 2x12 the member dc has some kit sets for sale. The hardest part for me was finding decent plywood in Taranaki.

Still waiting for tolex and grill cloth so not looking as sweet as it sounds yet.
