I plan on building some really nice speaker cabinets for my DIY kit and I want to use some rosewood veneer over an MDF shell. I also want to use some hardwood banding on the cabinet to protect all the corners and use a 3/4" radius for the front baffle. Do I:
1) Route out the dados in the perimter
2) install the veneer ((flush trim)
3) install the banding
4) flush cut the banding
5) then route for the 3/4"raduis?
My concern is that I don't want to fray the veneer when it's flush trimmed by my router and I want to minimize any glue stains on the veneer because I will need to to deepen the veneer's color a bit to match the finish on my sub.
Ps: Also looking for some good sources for veneer (and best type to use) that's not rediculously priced. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
