I am very new to woodworking and could use some help with finishing this ebony wood veneer I am thinking about buy from Oakwood Veneer http://www.oakwoodveneer.com/ebony-veneer-italian-dark-tone.html . I am currently building three speakers for my home theater system and these speaker would look fantastic with this veneer. I have never worked with veneer or any other type of nice wood before. My wood finishing experience is limited to junior high work shop.
My question is how should I finish this veneer in order to achieve an flawless furniture like finish?
The trimming and applying to the substrait seems to be straight forward and there are literally a million videos on the internet that show how to apply the veneer but nothing about finishing ebony veneer. Can someone please give a detailed step by step procedure for finishing this type of ebony veneer and/or a good book which can outline the procedure for finishing ebony veneer?
Most procedures for achieving that furniture like finish requires filling in the pours and sanding but I am afraid that if I use these method I might affect the ebony.
Ideally, I would like prep and apply a polyurethane but would love some advice.
FYI, the dimensions of the speakers 16"x6"x10" (H x W x D) and made from 0.75" MDF.
