Hello Jerry, Welcome to the OLF's Official Resonator Forum.
I am making some photos today of one I am working on and I will probably have them up this P.M.

Thanks Don, The braces look a little hefty in the photo.

Jerry, Yes that is the one. This is a three piece adjustable baffle. Made from walnut about 2.5 mm thick and bordered with felt to avoid any wood to wood contact.

This photo shows the side that the baffle contacts so the felt can maintain a good seal. This seperates the upper and lower chambers.
