robforst1 Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 My Klipschorns (that I bought used about 6 months ago) sound awesome! The problem is that someone ruined the wood. Their are black waterstains on the tops which are probably from potted plants that overflowed. The fronts are in decent shape. Although, there are some significant scratches. Also, the veneer between the tops and bottoms is chipped and flaking off. I tried sanding and restaining. However, this did not solve the problems at all. I think I need to reapply a new veneer. I found some interesting wood veneers on the web: http://www.oakwoodveneer.com/samples/samples3.html Has anyone ever done this or had someone do this (adhere a new veneer to their k-horns)? Thanks in advance for your reply... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg928gts Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Zebrawood Heresy page. Rosewood Klipschorns. Custom La Scalas Tapeease. Certainly Wood. I had difficulties with the iron-on method on the oak La Scalas. Lot's of bubbling of the veneer after a month or so. NOT GOOD. This method is real woodworking plus a pain-in-the-arse dealing with the amount of glue, type of veneer, climate conditions, etc... I guess what I'm saying is that if someone is not a woodworker and is doing veneering for the first time, I would recommend they look at NBL backed veneer and contact cement. That's how I did the Rosewood Khorns, only I used raw wood veneer on the edges. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
