Finishing Veneer


While this isn't for a speaker project, it has something to do with audio. I bought some curly anigre veneer (unbacked, unfortunately) off ebay a while ago, with the intent to put it on an audio cabinet I designed. I have pretty much all the pieces veneered, but there's a bunch of bubbles and blemishes. The original plan was to use Crystalac on it, sand up to 2000 grit, and then use polish to finish it for a high-gloss finish. However, considering there's about 60 square feet to do this too (just doing the ~3 square feet on my speakers took me hours!), along with the blemishes, would it be better to just use something like an oil finish? Any suggestions?? Thanks for the help!
