Can anyone suggest a decent cabinet maker here in the UK for a pair of bookshelf speakers?
Maybe a member here has the skills and kit.
The build will be either a small full range Jordan Eikona or a two way using Scanspeak and Morel drivers.
I would like the front baffle made from Corian or Silestone type material if anyone can also recommend a company that will CNC small jobs.

Hi,
Wilmslow Audio has a range of cabinets and finishes.
Not sure they can do the bespoke baffle material.

diyAudio member Toppsy used to do builds some time back, very nice work; not sure if he still does them. Maybe you can drop him a PM. Following link has some pics of his builds:

Corian is cut using normal tct router bits, and sanded with wet and dry paper, finishing with "barkeepers friend". (it's also fairly easily repaired). Silestone is a quartz/resin material which in reality can only be machined by a proper stonemason's shop, needs diamond cutting and polishing. I've no idea as to the suitability of either as a baffle. I imagine corian would be good, silestone could have difficult resonances, but I've never seen it
