Hello HR.commers.
What with the downturn in the economy in my neck of the woods and the ripple effects it has had with my schedule and wages and stuff, I have some free time on my hands to finally spend some time doing cool things in my new house. First project is making some much needed room treatments.
I had some stuff laying around the house like old bits of wood and old ceiling tiles that i am using for materials becasue they were free...ish. But i thought i would pick your brains on what i have in mind before i start gluing it all together.
If you look at the picture .....here..... It should be a good visual to see where my head is at.
It is an old piece of fibreglass ceiling tile as a backing piece (i may wrap that in burlap before affixing the wood) with some wood triangle shapes sort of running from corner to corner. (I also have some nice maple square pieces about 1/2" by 1/2") The frame is cedar and that will also have a burlap mesh over the front of it to hide some of the ugly yellow 'guts'
Obviously it looks a little uglier then the finished product as i am just mid cuts of all those little pieces, i just really wanted to get some opinions from you all before i started gluing.
It is my intent to have two of these things on the walls at the point of the first reflection from my monitors. I have also been tossing the idea around to maybe angle them when mounted just so, so that they reflect those early reflections towards the wall behind me, where my next project, a nice wooden diffuser will be waiting for some more sound waves and split them up a little more ?
This has got to be better than bare walls right?
