[QUOTE="thylantyr, post: 2212537, member: 560358"] Common recipes; MDF + veneer, then stain the veneer and top coat {poly, lacquer, etc} MDF + primer + paint Oak, birch, maple 7 ply plywood found at the home center. Expensive as the quality is higher than construction grade plywood, but it has the thin veneer of either oak, birch, maple on both sides. This veneer is course, unlike the thin veneer you buy. Course can be good. I prefer the course grain of oak plywood over oak veneer. You can fix the plywood edges by applying iron on veneer strips and use a razor blade for a clean look. Stain the wood, then top coat. You can substitute MDF for particle board if you have great woodworking stills as you have to understand how to deal with the weaker material. Exotic: You can use furniture making techniques on speaker boxes using solid wood, but it's expensive and it's a more advanced topic with issues. You can cut a tree and carve it, make a cylinder shaped enclosure and carve the innards to make air space. lol You can do fiberglass boxes. [/QUOTE]
