Thanks Wayne.
I just have to decide what color to stain the cherry veneer. After that I'll shoot it with some satin clear and install the woofers, your crossovers and waveguides (once they arrive).

Google "acrytech".
It's an acrylic coating that musicians commonly use for the exterior of say, a bass amp cabinet/pa speaker and the like.
I had some left over from the last set of speakers I built and just sold- "b741scanspeak".
I only used it for the stripe because I had laid out/cut the veneer in the wrong orientation, and
I only had enough veneer left to do the front panels with the grain running horizontal instead of vertical.
Therefore, I decided to keep the grain vertical, and throw in the stripe, so you're looking at a mistake .
I happen to like it this way, and the speaker covers will hide it if I choose.

Updates:
My i-phone pics suck but-
The clear, gloss lacquer has dried for more than a week.
I have gone ahead and rubbed the dried lacquer with 0000 steel wool, and applied and buffed out paste wax, all in an attempt to achieve a satin sheen.
It seems to have worked for the most part, although I might call it more of a "semi gloss".
How do you all think they would sound in this configuration?
I sourced some genuine JBL recones, so while I had them stripped, I went ahead and did the final fitment to the boxes and installed the "Nutserts" or "threaded inserts" for the woofer screws.
