2ndGenKlipsch Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Here are a few pictures of my 1979 Heresy's that CAKE refinished in Brazilian Rosewood for me. These pictures really don't do these speakers justice...they are truly gorgeous! Ty did a GREAT JOB on the veneer. Here's what they started out looking like: And after new veneer: The pictures above are a little deceiving…the speakers aren’t actually as red as they look in these photo’s. Here’s a shot so you can see what the finish looks like indoors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Hot dam I love em, the redish in the out door pics and the darker brownish in the indoor pics. It wouldn't matter to me I would take them either way. He did a fantastic job. my dad had a stereo cabinet that had that veneer on it. Very nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang guy Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 That work goes beyond skill. That is true artwork. The woodgrain is matched from the top down the sides. VERY nice!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twistedcrankcammer Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 How much did the veneer job cost if you don't mind me asking? I have some prodjects I'd like to have done. Thanks! Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I've seen the Belles that CAKE reveneered for USNRET, they're beautiful as well. He does amazing work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistedcrankcammer Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I saw the Belles, and they did look great. Wonder what the TSCMs might look like? I've sent cake an email and I'm waiting to hear back. Thinking of doing my subs for starters. Rog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the course of the conversation we talked about his center channel Belle that CAKE currently has. Apparently it's taking longer than anticipated due to the fact that CAKE found out that he's allergic to veneer dust!!!! How ironic is that?? He's working with someone else that can help him with the sanding but progress is slower than normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAKE Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Been a while since I lurked around the forum and want the thank 2nd Genklipsch for the post and thanks to all for the nice complements. Glad to see that you are enjoying the KHRW 2012. The dust allergy thing sux, but finally after having "poison ivy " 3 times I was able to figure it out. Now working with a paint & body man to do the finish sanding. Thanks again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now working with a paint & body man to do the finish sanding. Some dust may not bother you at all. Some of the woods used in guitar bodies is quite toxic, so luthiers have to use special precautions when building with those woods.Below are some links to some great information (the links will open in a new tab or window): http://www.wood-database.com/wood-articles/wood-allergies-and-toxicity/ http://www.woodworkersguide.com/2008/05/07/wood-toxicity-is-nothing-to-sneeze-at/ Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djk Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 A respirator mask may be in order. Good ventilation/dust-collection to prevent a dust-explosion is also nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
