Got the ports glued in.
Now working on filing the grain in on the baffles, in preparation for clear coat.

Same here. I sold a pair a couple days ago, with more interest than I ever expected. Now I want to build more! You may remember this from Iowa 2022, now completely reworked and in the hands of a happy buyer.

Not sure what you mean by your post? Same here?
Baffles are prepped, waiting on my guy to get to them.
Had a chance to get some crossover boards and mounts taken care of…
Then added a couple more braces. Added some damped cross box pieces…

Well I could have just popped a couple holes in the back for some terminals and been done with it.
Nope.

Made some trim pieces for the front of the bases. I cut strips of curly maple to match what’s going on in the baffle. Then epoxied copper to that to mimic the baffle as well.
Then I put my diamond shaped inlay in. I’ve done this in most of my builds and use a different material in each one. In this case, I used some leftover carbon fiber/copper I had from the baffles of the Invit8tions.

How do you flush mount the inlay? (Looking at it, I’d think a 1/4” router bit with standard 1/2” bearing can’t get that precise??)

Incredible work !!!
(sorry to say, my choice of bases finish is; flat or satin black)

I have two or three things that I have been unable to route a precise enough shape. I have searched and searched but probably was never using quite the right words for the right solution to come up in the search results.
