My apartment setup

This weekend I took the oak trim off my speakers for refinishing.

Excellent work Brandon !

Do you think simply sanding off the lacquer would allow me to apply a finish with a dye in it (I have the dye, as it would match the wood trim on my sidewall project) ?

Really been wanting to refinish my Monolith rails, but they are a permanent part of the speaker, so at best, I can pull out the panel to keep it away from dust, but the rest is still at risk.

Nice job Brandon. You should be very happy with your results.
It is never easy going head long into an unknown project. Even if you have what seems to be all of the answers ahead of time.

Thank you! They really turned out better than the photos show.

The oak trim was surprisingly hard so these were easy to sand without worrying about ruining any edges of the wood. If someone 0

I see no reason that wouldn't work, that's all I did minus dye/stain. I thought of doing red or blue for a change but ended up staying with the natural finish.

My new Google pixel finally arrived so I took a couple good pics that better show how the wood turned out and how great this cell phone camera is.
