Ok not technically "finished", as I will put a few more coats of varnish on. I wanted to complete the wiring and fitting first then I will sand and add a couple more coats. I've learned over the years that a coat or two in the shop is not a bad thing as it prevents handling stains from greasy fingers or some errant grease on a work bench that can mess up a beautiful piece of teak.


Over all the whole thing took me about two hours to complete but certainly looks a lot better, IMHO, than the plastic stereo housings sold at West Marine etc.. This is an easy way to learn veneer work and a cheap enough project that you don't go broke on teak veneer if you mess up. A 2' X 4' sheet of quarter sawn teak veneer from Boulter runs about $33.00.
