Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

RE: Suggestions with pix

Birch is a close-grained wood and may not take oil based stain well. The wipe on poly will give you a natural, somewhat amber-hued finish with no blotching worries. My bitch with poly is that it's not repairable and the glossy stuff looks so unreal.

I do all my speakers with just Amber shellac or Watco natural which darkens the wood, then shellac or varnish as a topcoat.

Do you want to make a 1/2" or more roundover on those plywood edges? Could look good and interesting with so many tight plies. Not that difficult really and minor errors easily touched up with a bit of 220 grit paper.

Just keep the router base flat on the panel and let the bit do the work going counter clockwise. With plywood there's no end grain/long grain direction to bother with. Have at it.

Walnut with Watco natural then Bullseye Amber Shellac cut 50/50 with denatured alcohol for a 1 1/2 pound cut and wiped on
