@ emphatic
That's what he was suggesting...

I'd just be concerned about it getting grimy or tearing (since you'll be poking at the screen much more than you'd be poking at the speaker area down low).
JRoz:
Good point, I agree - that is one of my concerns, however it may be able to be cleaned easily and I can always rewrap an area. The speaker cloth would match the bottom part at least. If I use a wood, its not going to match the rest of the wood around it, and it already has 2 different shades of wood. The wood may be over done in this case
drventure:
Yeah, I can see what you mean. Unless you do an accent type frame, just matching the frame to the cabinet could be too much.
You could do a wood frame, paint it a flat black and do a thin "matte" inside it that surrounds the monitor and wrap it with the cloth. That could look pretty good too.
JRoz:
I think I finally found a frame guy that will give me my dimensions. He has a cherry maroon finish that looks like it could work. I'm going to buy it, coat it with the same restor-finish mahogany color that I used on the cabinet and see how it turns out. If its way off i'm just going to wrap the thing in the black vinyl and call it a day
JRoz:
any recommendations on applying the frame to the wood? I do have some gorilla-glue but not sure I want to make it permanent. Any thoughts?
