But lets face it, who really has the power tools and time to make nice wooden cases. I got your solution right here in the form of
wood adhesive covering. Available from any Wall-Mart around the world comes this affordable ( $5 ) solution that will spruce up any gadget. Take this Dull box pictured before the wood application. A few minutes and a small mess later, tada! It looks awesome! The possibilities are limitless, however everyone will agree that wood trim like this makes anything Classy. Not to mention that it works perfectly to cover up those pre-drilled, but never used switch and jack holes. Oops, that will be out little secret ;-)

having access to a woodshop is a plus for sure. i was able to make wooden end cheecks for my 505 recently. it's almost done, just waiting on a few more switches to come in the mail. i'll have pics when it's ready :)

You can use REAL wood cabinet refacing veneer that can be bought online or at home improvement stores. It is not hard to work with, can be painted or stained, and is easy to cut with scissors or an Xacto knife.

the great thing about veneers is that they come in a mind-boggling array of exotic flavors, and as the previous replier said, they are relatively easy to work with. much can be done by simply cutting up a sheet of veneer and rearranging the pieces.

Thanks for the tips, I am gonna have to try that out as well. I was trying to be a little cheesy with this post, but I'm glad people are still reading.

I think we caught onto the cheese, but it is a good idea, nevertheless.
