    From Studo -> Home Finish

    As many of you know I bought a pair of 4242B's from Guido. These was painted black. I have now started the process to get them into walnut finish.

    Here are some pictures of the progess so far. Next step is to attach massive walnut on the front edges, and then buliding the grills. More pictures will come.

    Yes, right! ......... No actually it is real American walnut.

    Sorry about the 4242... the 2 is so damn close to the 3.

    Yes, normal wood glue (water based) on both sides, wait to dry, and then using the iron. Verey easy.

    A big thanks to Yggdrasil for the info.

    I have read about using that method... I have been concerned about blisters forming over time. Johnny, have you had any pieces that you have done with this technique fail? Do you have any pieces that are say 10-20 years old?

    The iron I used have 1, 2, 3 dots and max. I used 2,5-3. I used my hand to "feel" the temprature to what I thought would be right. AND IT WAS RIGHT.

    Hi Widget. Note that I am using a special product. The venieer is allready fixed to a back side of a non-woven material. I guess a more expencive solution, but much easyer for a amature.

    The picture tells the name of the product.

    funny to see an instruction sheet for the veneer in Dutch!

    should you have any problems, send me a copy and I can translate it should you want

    in english, not in norwegian that is...

    edit >> the part I can read says not to use water based glue in any case, but that is exactly what you have done!
