I just picked up some new to me Cornwalls the other day. They are CBR that the owner finished many years ago. They are very faded on the tops and need completely refinished. Any tips you guys can give me would be great. I know birch is birch and I can Google general wood finishing techniques but I would rather hear from people here that own and have refinished these speakers.
Should I just sand or use a stripper first? Tape off / cover the speaker ports to keep dust out from sanding?
Should I use a pre conditioner before staining? Toner after? Top coat?
What brand/type of stain is best to use on these?
What color would you do? (I know, personal preference but I value opinions here). I want them to look classic as well as classy.
I do have new grille cloth on the way from Bob Crites.
Thanks!!
