steampunk keyboard

Step 2 Stylize the surface

Here is the departure between a worn surface look and a new ready to be abused look. prep the keyholes and cut and additional feature holes and markers now to save yourself the headache of damaging the finish later. Use sandpaper that matches the hardness of the wood to finish the surface and take any blemishes out. The finer the wood grain the finer the sandpaper you want to finish with. Use a light poly spray to seal the wood . Repeat over and over with the finest sandpaper available until satisfied.

Did you use solid wood for the left and right sides and veneer for the top ? How thick must the veneer / top wood be ?

used 1/16th inch hardwood ,Steamed and glued to the keyboard. had to rub the wood down with a metal bar to form it to the curve. I used CA because of its reaction to moisture.
