Oh a fantastic journey. Here I can't get qnother NHT speaker. Saludos -
I used this method to put veneer on my Bose 301 refurbish. Works like a charm. In fact, I don't buy the pre-glued veneer any more. I prefer this method.

I have one of those 1 cf Parts Express sub boxes. I haven't finished mine yet. I'm assuming your cherry finish is a veneer, no? You did a terrific job with it. Did you consider putting some kind of handle on the cubes at all. I'm considering doing that to mine. It's just bulky and heavy enough with the MDF structure and the driver installed to be a bit cumbersome to move around.

Depending on the size of your project, you might find overruns for veneer on eBay. I have found some pretty cool examples of zebra-wood, and book-matched walnut there..., Turns out there is a lot of scrap from the luxury airplane manufacturing industry... (I spoke to one seller way back when) and they sell the fairly big scraps on eBay, leftover from a build-out of a plane for a luxury buyer's customization. I have another project to cover a Kenwood turntable with zebra-wood (replacing the ugly vinyl veneer it came with). Spent just a few bucks for several pieces 8" wide by 36" long which will do the job for me. 😉 Amazon is a good place too, for sure.

Have you ever used the heat/iron method with straight titebond wood glue? I re-veneered a pair of EPI 400 speakers using this method, and 4-quarter book-matched walnut on the top surface. It worked quite well.

Thank you sir, appreciate your help. I really am looking for some burlwood veneer. I love the look of it!

Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009KN8INE?ref_=ppx_hzod_title_dt_b_fed_asin_title_0_0 I've used Mahogany as well. .... I think the vendor was "Edge Supply" $42 for the cherry, 2ftx8ft was perfect for this project, only a few square inches of waste. I use the old-school paper backed stuff with contact cement. There is a peel-and-stick option as well. Contact cement has tripled in price in 6 years .....used to be $8/quart now its 24. Similar issue with the finish I use .... A quart of General Finishes Arm-R-Seal Satin is $45, half that not long ago. Unfortunately I was out of both ..... should have bought a pint of each.
