Anyway...
CAUTION: Extreme woodworking newbie working with knowledgeable woodworking family member
So I will be assembling the Zaph Seas design in a piano gloss PE enclosure. I dispise the stock matte finish baffle and want to create my own. I will be choosing a ~1" thick solid piece of red oak, mahogany, cherry, etc. Ideally, I would like the final finish to look like the rosewood enclosure below.

I will have access to a family member's HVLP spray gun. I need direction on how to achieve my goal. My plan of action:
1) Route/cut/countersink all driver cutouts.
2) Sand, sand, sand. (Unsure what grit(s) and how long. [I know...prep is everything])
3) Stain wood with my choice of red.
4) "Clearcoat"
5) Sand, sand, polish, polish (Again, unsure of the appropriate method to be used here)
I have searched and found a couple of members liking a product from www.pianolac.com. Will this give me the extreme deep gloss finish found on the PE pre-fabs? Will one quart cover two 8.5" x 14" baffles?
Thanks for all the help! This woodworking stuff is all rocket science to me. ops:
