Ha ha, Rickey, and looking at yours reminds me that the next step for me might, in fact, use the very same HD oak strips. I had been contamplating fixing them to the MDF, where the PFs run down the sides. Then, I would just cover them with the same old grill cloth, which still stretches well...no more uglies.
I kept postponing it because real framing still seemed to be the only way to go if the inner Mylar frame was to be dealt with.
After the HR results -- and probably more so, FR -- things have changed. That oak strip is thinner but probably stronger than what I am now using for P-Frames. So, it should be able to rein in the MDF just a well. Then, HR or FR would complete the picture. Presto!
Come to think of it, maybe I'll try this and THEN add FR. If the strips do the same job with HR, as PF+HR...Wow!
Then I could start saving for ribbon-tweetered Maggies.
