Jeff Matthews Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 My friend just got Corns he wants to re-veneer. He had a few questions, and I know you guys can provide a wealth of information. Here goes.... Post pics of your pride in workmanship on re-veneering. Also, please describe what type of veneer you used, where you got it, and any other pertinent information. I hear there's a stick-on type where heated glue is not needed and another type where the glue is needed, so does the stick-on type work good? Thanks.

rplace Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Not my work, but I have seen the results first hand. Stunning. Rumor is they might be for sale. http://www.dcchomes.com/Heresy.htmlThat should get him started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Matthews Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 Thanks, Rich. I forwarded him your reply. All additional posts are encouraged. Fellow Klipscheads, show him some of those magnificent jobs you've done. I remember someone posting some fabulous Deco Corns in the past.

Dirk Diggler Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Jeff, I know one forum memeber that did an insanely good job was Cueman. I asked him a few questions about a re-veneer that I was going to do and he was really helpful. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meagain Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I've been waiting for the search engine to come up as I want to see pics of various re-do projects also. I'm hopeing it'll be anyday now? When I used the 'cheat' search that they recently took down - lots of nice pics! I'm starting to get it in my head that veneering isn't too hard. Jeff - you should play with your decorator cornwalls. What an opportunity you have with those! Can look stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaiser SET say Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Cueman is the man as he gave me one sweet pair of LaScalla' cabs the he gutted to finalize this project: http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/540968/ShowPost.aspx Some of the finest craftmanship I have seen. Since Scott posted this once I'm sure he won't mind me directing you to this forum archive post[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meagain Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 It's nice to see jazzed up LaScalas. I don't even understand why people paint them black unless for a true HT situation. They just scream to be tricked out. It's cutting the pieces of veneer I fear. I imagine it has to be blazingly precise. Sure looks doable though. I wonder if the grill cloth at the back of the bin affects the bass much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klipschaholik Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 A pair of heresys in walnut and la scalas in rosewood, both using the glue and iron method. Not finished with the la scalas yet as I. ran into some splitting problems. Sorry about the size. Haven't figured out how to resize these.

Jeff Matthews Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 The pics don't show. You have to attach them as files, rather than insert pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not finished with the la scalas yet as I. ran into some splitting problems. Sorry about the size. Haven't figured out how to resize these. use Photoshop or other image editing programs. Make biggest dimension 350 pixels and 72 dpi, it's that easy. Please don't post super huge images straight out of camera. It hangs up computers of people stuck on dial up (we have some rural members here) Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS Button Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 These re-veneered Heresy's now belong to Colter. They were my first project and I was quite anal about everything. Made a couple of nagging mistakes, but nothing major. I used a good paper backed variety so as to not deal with book matching, etc. Using titebond II PVA glue and the iron on method. Take your time and make sure to apply the glue liberally to both the substrate and the back of the veneer. Press slowly and use an old t-shirt between the iron and the veneer. The mistake I made was to handle the veneer with the Titebond on a finger or two, then on the top of the veneer, which was ironed into the pores of the wood surface and showed when they were finished. Please do not use cheap wood filler on the substrate, you'll ruin your project. Use a good two part bondo type. BS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3dzapper Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 The Khorns and Heresys were raw birch, the BB was maple, the Wrights in the stand were black and the 300b amp was just a stainless chassis. now they are all black walnut.
