Here is what a corner looks like after gluing, trimming and light sanding.

Will start on final finishing today. Decided to finish using Tung oil. 

Added note: I could have used a wire near the edge which would have even made a tighter seam. Remove wire and hammer down (push the veneer down using the board) toward the corner. 

Great work, Ron!  They are beautiful... but you need to beware; now that you are a veneering god, you will always be looking around for more stuff to "improve."  You dining room may be gone forever.

And, I still want to know, when is the Dallas/Fort Worth 'open house' to check 'em out "in person?"

Best to you...

Rob,

Just finished buttoning them up a few minutes ago. Refreshed the crossover. Keeping an eye on the NCAA's. My school...MSU beat Marquette. Have not hooked them up to see if they work yet. More pictures forthcoming.

I suppose I can bring them to a DFW Hornhead meeting. They sure do look pretty!

Yeah... more pictures!

I'd love to have the DFW guys over here sometime, but the way our house is, the group would have to come one at a time!  Dang ol' small Music Room with one (that's right, one) "listening chair."      The one-and-only DFW Hornheads meeting that I attended was at Seadog's place... perfect venue for good listening, visiting, lying, etc!!

Anyway, sometime when you are going to be in the Mid-Cities area (Hurst), let me know and drop by. 

Have a super weekend!

One picture of the finished Heresy's. I'll take some high resolution pictures (might pull out my 8X10 camera) later when I have some good light. Using a video camera for still pictures leaves a lot to be desired.

 
Finished. Sound terrific. Used the Chesky demo CD to test them. A-B comparison with Cornwall's...they hold their own well. Man, they sound good .

I also refreshed the crossovers.

Here is the next project...a tore up McIntosh MAC-1700 cabinet. Should look fine in a Bubinga coat! 

14 hours later (maybe an hour cleaning up the cabinet, wood putty on corners and another hour and a half measuring, cutting, gluing and sanding) the cabinet is veneered and has 1 coat of Tung oil. Came out nice.

One sheet of veneer, wrapped from left to right, front edging matches the side and top pieces and laid out the same way.

Ron,

Your veneering work is pretty nice and those random orbitals do work very well, the Bubinga joints mate up pretty good. Some day I would like to hone my veneering skills and have some fun with various projects around home and for others.
