HBR Heresy


Recommended Posts

HBR stands for Heresy Birch Raw, meaning they came with no finish on them. Any finish was applied by the end user. Yes, you can strip/sand and restain to your liking. Be aware, birch doesn't always take a stain very evenly.

Also, the outer layer of the birch isn't very thick, so you need to be careful when sanding.

Yes you can sand them as previously answered. I just redid a pair my thread is on here. I used a random orbital sander and 150 grit sanding discs. You could probably use 180 and a lighter touch. A lot of patience is required not to mention sand with the grain. I used some stainable wood filler in some places and you can tell the difference. Some of the stain is uneven in the pics not near as bad as the pics show. Lighting in the room is a real pill. I may try to set them up and try photos again. The stain I used was Watco. It was really simple to use. Just take your time and you will be fine.

Also I have a thread at www.audiokarma.org in the General Discussion thread area under Woodworking Question title. I posted a bunch of photos at www.hometheaterloft.com in the Hardware section under a thread entitled New Old Speakers but you may have to register to see the photos.
