My Madisound Recession Busters

Just finished these speaks.

They sound fantastic powered from my 3875 gainclone as well as my 10wpc Super T-Amp.

Build breakdown:

3/4 MDF for cabinets. Used the ported plan (see plans on website).

10mil paper backed Birch veneer applied with DAP contact cement. Sanded with 150, then 220 to remove paper and glue left by the flush trim bit I used on my router.

One coat Minwax Prestain.

One coat Minwax Red Oak 21.

Two coats Minwax Polyurethane.

The poly was the hardest part to get perfect (and it's not). I applied the first coat with a rag then lightly sanded using 220, removing dust with tackcloth. I applied the second coat with a brush. I then took a paper bag wrapped around a wood block and rubbed everything again. This seems to take out any micro small dust particles and bubbles.

DIY is fun!

Where'd you buy your veneer if you don't mind me asking?
