Is it possible to achieve a uniform color/pattern from baltic birch plywood edge grain?
Hi Folks,
I'm building a wood finish head cabinet for a guitar amplifier and I'm looking to mimic the look of old pinstripe speaker cloth as found on vintage Marshall gear. (Example: https://imgur.com/a/6Vpsts6)
What I'd like to do is face glue several 1"x 17" strips of BB ply together to recreate the pinstripe look, but my (limited) experience with BB is that the end grade won't look as consistently uniform as I'd prefer for this project.
Are there any tips/tricks/techniques to even out the appearance of the end grain so that the glued together piece looks like one big, even end grain? Open to any dyes/oils/conditioners/waxes/finishes/etc, dark or light, but trying to avoid opaque finishes or paint that hide the wood.
Thanks!
