There are so many beautiful wood veneer speaker finishes that manufactures offer in there premium lines....What are some of your favorites? Cherry, Mahogany, Birdseye Maple, Yew, Rosewood, Walnut etc?
Hey Rmsr - I thought I was the only one with Walnut CLS! ;-) Agreed they look great. Definitely their best wood choice IMHO. I asked them about Maple frames but they wouldnt' make them. Ah well.
My latest DIY speakers are veneered with blonde Burmese teak veneer that used to be available from Rockler. I used much #0000 steel wool and very fine sandpapers in between one coat of Minwax Natural Wood Finsh , four coats of polyeurartane varnish and two coats of spray on lacquer. I think they look good
Waterfall Bubinga or Flame Mahogany - depending on the size of speaker and figuring of grain. Outside of speakers in waterfall bubinga, our kitchen table never ceases to elicit wow responses from all who’ve sat at it with us. Deep waterfall effect with live edges. People swear I epoxy coated the table for the depth illusion.
