Title: Heavy Plinth Lenco Wrap
Post by: Rockman Rock on June 21, 2013, 02:51:11 PM

I got tired of my all black layered Baltic birch plinth on my Lenco idler drive, so the guy that gave me the maple I used for arms boards came through again. The maple tree was cut down on his dad's property, rough cut, aged for a year and cut into boards. They have a well equipped wood shop and made these thin strips for me. There was a fellow on the Lenco forum that didn't like brown so the walnut corner accents are for him. :) The black is automotive clear coat.
