The finishing process is quite involved. It is about 8 coats of lacquer sanded flat then rubbed out with pumice stone then with rotten stone and finally buffed out with wax. The finish itself takes about 3 days to complete including drying time.
Al's speaker will have a similar finish but it is not quite as refined as I had to try and repair his prior finish. It is close but there was damage to the veneer and solid wood that I couldn't repair completely. They are quite nice though.
