Wood Type Used
#13

I used Photoshop, a scan of the piece, and pics of another radio with the grill intact to create a template of the grill pattern, and printed it out.

I have had a good size sheet Mahogany on hand for quite some time left over from another repair, so I cut a piece off, and applied it to a small piece of nice plywood the correct thickness.

Using the printout, I rubbed some pencil on the back, then laid that down on the wood, traced it out, which transferred the design like carbon paper onto the wood, then used a fine tip sharpie to trace the pencil.

The next step is to cut it out.
