I am finishing up the planning stages of building this speaker. I have a friend to help me with the x-over, Originally I thought about having someone build me a cabinet, but then thought I would look into what it would take to finish it myself. Still might have someone cut everything for me.
I want a rosewood finish in a dark red color. Take a look at the speaker picture i attached. I really dig the one on the left(the only rosewood one). I love how you can see the grain flow. I just would like it in a deeper red, Yeah I know...I am a novice and this is something that takes a master woodworker, but I am a patient person and this what I want to shoot for.
I have looked around online and these are the 3 big questions I have.
Is it best to build out of MDF and then use a rosewood veneer?
Or, should I just build this speaker our of rosewood 100%?
If veneer, does anyone have any recommendations where to buy it?
