Agreed, some of the darker enclosures I've seen look really sharp. But I have considered taking the plate off to have it powder coated a loud color, like red, orange, or maybe just anodized black. The stain would need to work w/ that. As stated, though, it really depends on how well it sounds.

For such a small product you can add some visual Punch with an exotic veneer. The below examples are on the cheap end, but i did four speakers worth so cost was more of an issue. or stained:

I know, my current reference is the various power coats available from bicycles (my other obsession).

OK, so the box has seen some better days. The box has some gaps where the pieces are glued together. Should I use putty to seal the gaps and sand? My fear is that even w/ stain, the color won't match.
In my younger days, I somehow recall using sawdust w/ some glue to fill the gaps to ensure the same color wood. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll have enough dust...

You could probably still do it using some sawdust from a similarly coloured wood, if you have a piece of scrap laying around. Staining it should blend it as long as the glue takes the stain.

No extra wood because it only came in 4 pieces that the original owner glued together. And not so well.

Never had much luck with sawdust and glue. You'd be better off just finding a putty that matches as close as you can get, then sand and stain it.

Word on the street is that Mark has a new mortiser but isn't sharing or posting pictures or anything.
You're hurting me inside, man.
