Upgrade from Vinyl to real wood veneer

The process of upgrading the original vinyl wrap to real wood veneer for this standmount speakers.

To prepare to sand down the remaining contact adhesive after the removal of the original vinyl.
Matching the natural wood grain pattern, Teak wood veneer in this case.
First piece done!
Triming the edges.
Closed up shoot, so pretty is the natural wood grain.
Carefully cutting out the openings for the terminal panel.
The front and the back of the enclosure.
Putting together the final pieces, 6 sided per enclosure x 2 = 12 pieces all together one at a time.
Time for some fine sanding work.
More sanding...
 Wood stains and varnish on the way...
Walnut colour in satin finish.
Done!
Puting the drivers back in to positions.
Drivers and terminal panels back in place.


Looks Gorgeous isn't it?
