Speaker Box

Here we go December! Just wanted to start sharing some of the projects I've been working on lately.
We recently got our living room wired up with speakers which was quite the adventure. Kevin wanted one of the speakers to sit on our table underneath the TV and I told him that was okay but I didn't want an ugly speaker to just be sitting there... so I decided to make a speaker box!
Here's the finished product:

The finished product makes me happy because it's aesthetically pleasing and Kevin likes it because it doesn't hinder the sound!
Here's what it looked like before:

-I used oak wood that I had left over from a previous project and then I bought a sheet of metal from Lowes with the design already on it.
-I spray painted the metal with Rustoleum and stained the wood. Here's a couple more images:

 These are the pieces of wood I used

 I tested out different stain colors to figure out what matched in my living room the best

 This is the framing for the front of the box before I stained it

 This is the metal sheet I used, a close up view of what it looked like before spray painting

 In these two you can see the clamps I used when I glued and nailed everything together as well as the corners I took out so that the metal would rest into the front of the box.

And here's the finished box before I added the metal mesh. I left the back open because you don't see it and obviously you had to fit the huge speaker into it!
