Building a beautiful Bluetooth Speaker

This article was originally published as part of HackSpace magazine, which has since been incorporated into Raspberry Pi Official Magazine.
This beautiful object by SimranWasu would be nice enough to have in your home even if it didn’t do anything. It’s a Bluetooth speaker/amplifier, made of CNC teak hardwood and CNCed aluminium.
