Dylanl Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 I finished my Klipschorns in teak the other day. All in all I have about 20 hours into the project. I received a lot of help from my cousin who is a cabinet shop carpenter. What do you all think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylanl Posted January 12, 2005 Author Share Posted January 12, 2005 I purchased the veneer from Tape-ease and used the 2 ply wood backer and good old contact cement. Not the water base but the flammable type. Tape-ease will send you samples of different veneer which is nice. This job takes a lot of patience & some skill. I say some skill because you can learn as you go. What scared me the most was cutting on a piece of veneer that I just paid 90.00 for. One mess up and you burned a 90.00 bill. So, measure twice and cut once. Anyway I have become more brave through the experience. I am going to finish my 2nd pair in Rosewood. Rosewood is about 350.00 for 2 4x8 sheets. I just have to get rid of some of my existing speakers to afford it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still can't figure why you didn't get any takers the first time... Just 20hrs? not bad at all... Later...
