With MOTM, you get that "black beauty" look.  Please excuse the bad

It also takes a beating well and looks good in a studio (IMO).  The 
basic steps are: build the cabinet, paint the wood to seal it for 
better adhesive results, cut and apply the Tolex with your favorite 
adhesive (I used 3M Spray 77), and attach hardware.  Spray 77 works 
best when used just like contact cement.
