And yes home depot and Lowe's sells danish oil, I think its maybe 10$ a can

Thanks...got some today over lunch. Inadvertently grabbed the Golden Oak color though. Might take it back.

Do you do the whole cup or just the outside?

I am not sure if the oil plays with the tone on the inside, i would stick with just outside for oil. But im sure someone with more experience will chime in

I had a look through the "cup tuning basics" thread, and the last few pages seem to point toward burnishing (ie: no finish, just, in one option, rubbing the wood with super-fine sandpaper) on the outside and a weird oiling and sets ding method on the inside. Might just burnish them inside and out and leave it at that. I keep forgetting that once they are in and the pads are on they won't be visible

Well ya, I forgot you were just doing inner sleeves, I left my inner sleeves bare, my outter cups had poly on the outside nothing on the inside.

Anyways...had a minute, got the Magnum X transferred over to the new sleeves and cups...had one little snafu with drilling the wire holes...a slight angle but you can't tell:



All looks nice and clean. First impressions, not bassy, or warmer, than the Lignum...well, not warmer by much...just a very pleasant, even tone...more time to be spent with them at the office tomorrow ....

Edit: I guess this should go in the Grado Modders to Magnum thread...oh well

I'm looking for a nice cable for my new build and would like to trade a set of tone wood cups for one. 
 
Anyone interested shoot me a PM.

Passion for metal, not really that original but it looks good IMO.

Did you do aluminium sleeves too?

 

[squallkiercosa]

Gr33: That's the manta headband and fleas baby : I couldn't find aluminum sleeves anywhere I was thinking in contacting you for a pair of wood inner sleeves but I just moved to Toronto and my finances are falling apart.

 

[fleasbaby]

Nice...well, all in due course. Part of the fun for me is the incremental mods and slowly building the perfect pair...
 
I just finished making my first pair of sleeves. Now going to try some full woodies. I cut the rough shapes this morning. Might start shaping tomorrow.

 

[Gr33nL34f]

Why does this remind me of the original Battlestar Galactica?
