Hi Greg,

I have. Out of acrylic and wood. For acrylic I cut four strips and glued
them together and then rounded them off. You can stack pieces to make
the countersinking.  For wood you ave a couple of options. You could
take a board and route out an opening and then countersinking the screen
using a dremel tool. I think the easiest way to make a surround is to
get a piece of whatever wood you like in whatever thickness you want the
surround to be and then cut the opening out with a coping saw rather
than trying to route it out. Then route the countersinking with the
dremel.

I've even made some cases for my remotes out of zebrawood. Pain in the
butt, but they looked nice.

P.S. I just ordered some black acrylic to make a case/stand that I can
also put the pi in. The hardest part will be venting. I found the
acrylic pretty inexpensively at HomeDepot believe it or not.
