Thanks Jake,
This was the first time so I wanted to just go simple. I was expecting it to be much more tricky than it ended up being.
My next test is going to be book matching. Imagine the darker end of the veneer in the center of 3 drawer fronts, book matched. As I understand there are a couple of methods that I could choose?
The first would be to cut, match and tape the pieces together then hammer veneer the whole piece.
The second method would be to veneer one half, then lay the second half down with a slight overlap and cut and peel the veneer then tack the joint down with the iron and hammer.
The second method appeals, but I question how to get a centered and accurate cut line which would match up for all three drawers.
I’ve attached a photo of the planned end recipient of the veneer (the 3 drawer fronts, cock beaded) assuming I get competent enough to follow through will all of this veneering – they’ll get the cock beading regardless.
Your thoughts and opinions will be truly welcomed.
Regards,
Paul
