- MDF Cabinets
- Birch veneer
- 3rd order filters

With many MDF cabinets used in speaker building, there is a danger of the MDF “telescoping” and revealing the joints of the cabinet. To avoid this, I utilized a low viscosity epoxy resin to glue up the cabinets and to secure the veneer. The difficulty with using epoxy for the veneer is that there are moments where it can bleed through the veneer and prevent stain from being absorbed by the wood. Therefore, I stained the wood before adhering it to the cabinets.

The veneer is applied in four pieces with the front and side being one continuous piece.

Cabinets were finished in wipe-on Clear gloss polyurethane
