Sure, I get it. I think I'll just live with them for a while and then make my call concerning finishing them or not. I may do a little sanding either way.

Very helpful! Thanks.

I have longed for a pair of Klipsch Heresy speakers ever since first hearing them in high school during the late 70’s. As luck would have it, a good friend who decided to down size his speakers from Heresys to a book shelf surround sound system, offered to sell me his at a good price. I jumped! I now have a pair of plywood finish raw birch (I think) Heresys - on the back of the speakers it says “Type – HRR (seriel #’s 97u835 and 97u834). They are in very good condition – no dings, scratches, or water rings, and they sound great. While I like the look, I want to give them some kind of finish to protect the wood and to give them a richer look. An artist friend who works with wood suggested a light sanding, a clean wipe, and a coat or two of Tung Oil. I was also considering giving the woven cane grills a wipe with the Tung Oil too. I went to the neighborhood hardware store and picked up some Formby’s Traditional Tung Oil Finish in low gloss (a varnish). Before proceeding I wanted to get Forum’s advice. Any wise words of advice?
