Building a beautiful Bluetooth Speaker

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. Upgrading an obsolete piece of hardware, such as a radio, by adding Bluetooth capability to it is nothing new – and it’s produced some lovely builds that we’ve featured in these pages – but the thing that sets this build apart is that it’s been done from scratch so, so beautifully.

You can’t see it from the finished image, but the sandwiched aluminium layer is just as lovely as the wooden exterior.
