Mark 3 combo cab

[mak009]

Hi Can anyone provide specs for a Mark 3 combo cabinet? I've just bought a head and would like to convert to wood grain finish combo.
Many thanks

I wasn't that ambitious to measure the taper. :lol:

Many thanks
And the baffle is
1/ dadoed in?
2/19mm pine as per sides
3/ the wicker grille is on a separate board or directly on to the baffle and folded around?? That would imply the baffle is screwed to cleats
Thanks again for taking the time to answer a fairly mundane question

OK many thanks - just a couple more...............
1/ Thickness of the wicker covered board? Colour? ie painted black or left natural
2/ Is the wicker clear coated with poly?
FWIW- I'm making a combo shell from Brazilian Walnut(it was the darkest and most consistent piece my supplier had, given Koa and Imbuya etc are largely unavailable now- at least down here)-pricey so I can't afford too many screw-ups!
Thanks again

Thanks for all that.
3/4" seems heavy for just the wicker board??
So 3/4" wicker, then another 3/4" baffle???
I agree (without background....) that a light coloured timber behind the wicker would look less obtrusive.
Did you find the wicker difficult to fold around the edges ??

Very nice work and thanks for the replies. Are you butt joining the cabs- can't see any finger joint or 1/2 blind dovetails- or maybe full blind d/tails??
