I looking for a fancy wooden enclosure to house a small electronics project. It needs to be about 8 inches by 6 inches with a sloped (console) top so that the front is shorter than the back.
This unit here http://www.crookwood.com/products/Monitor Controllers - C2.htm
is similar albeit slight more complex to what i am building. It is basically a monitor controller.
I have not had much luck finding a console enclosure that doesn't look so generic like the ones in radio spares so any directions here would be great.
Thanks

Plywood and a bit of glue should get you going... If you want you can draw the whole thing out and maybe ask a local DIY shop to cut the planks out for you... A few coats of hamertone from a can, gets pretty hard over time, and has that antique electronics looks.. it is also pretty easy to fill the gaps and cracks by just applying a few extra coats of hamertone there... it is very forgiving in hideing blemishes...
Or even just the plywood and some danish oil.

This is DIY after all
I've just recently finished a DAC enclosure out of MDF and pine (with a view to painting it - hence I don't care about the wood used) but it could have easilly been done with some nice plywood.
I was hoping to post a photo at some point, but I wanted to sand and paint it first.

I have found some nice units from Hammond if anyone is interested
