Mikenorway Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Does anyone know if the Cornwalls will be comming out in the beatiful distressed oak finish available for the Fortes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dtr20 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I know Cory has had them do custom cabinets. They can probably do it if the $$$$ is right. @MetropolisLakeOutfitters 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ODS123 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 My hunch is that if the veneer is offered on another Heritage speaker, then why not?? Of course, it may cost extra and will probably have to wait until their next production run of CW's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of staining them black, they can do the distressed oak stain and simply use the lambswool grills. Even if it’s ash and not oak, it’s close enough.

Hasty Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 I believe the Klipsch website says you can do special order veneers on heritage models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paducah Home Theater Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Yes there is a ton of custom veneers that I can get, only problem is that many are expensive. The potential issue with the distressed oak on Cornwalls is that I believe the wood for the Fortes comes in pre-veneered and happens to fit the Forte cut sheet properly. I'm not entirely sure that you can take that same wood and turn it into a Cornwall. It should be possible to get that finish but I'm just not entirely sure if it can be done at no additional cost.

Not trying to get off topic, but if anyone should know the answer to this, it's you. Does the distressed oak veneer on the FIII need to be oiled? Or better question, will I do any harm if I do oil it? I love the way it looks, but it appears awfully dry. Shakey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My house has beach house decor and I chose this finish because it gives off a driftwood vibe and feels complimentary. Putting oil on it would change the sheen and color most likely. I wouldn't do it myself but it may be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
