Been thinking on this for a while and have gotten to the planning and measuring stage.
This is a 1x12 OS cab based loosely on the Zilla Fat Baby. The Union Jack I use loosely conforms to the 3:5 ratio - the top is 1.25" longer than the ratio's width. The side 'jacks' will be hung correctly [flag pole side on the top] and since the sides are not as long as the top the angled parts of the St Andrew's [white] and St Patrick's saltires won't match up. Obviously the St George parts will line up - I hope!
I'll use curly maple for the white and blue bits - I used red heart on the two previous jack amp cabs but none is coming into the country currently, so I switched to bloodwood which is supposed to be more UV resistant.
The cut list as I attempt to maximize wood usage.
Some dye tests - more for the bloodwood which isn't uniformly red. Next two bits are just lacquered over non sanded wood.
Scarlett on the bloodwood, I suspect this is what I'll use as it adds some red to the lighter parts.
Cherry. It adds a bit of purple.
Sapphire blue on the maple.
When the wood is sanded down to 220 the grain will pop more.
