The Handles are laminated constructional veneers 2.4mm thick x 3 and glide together and put in a former and cramped/clamped up.
The other veneers are 0.6mm thick. The centre panel book matched fiddleback sycamore, pear banding, and cross edge banding Sycamore.4 September 2015 at 2:03 am #130067Fantastic, Mark. Really nice design and the overall look is stunning. You should be very proud of that.
5 September 2015 at 12:40 pm #130100Not my design and I went on a 4 day course @ another furniture makers school.
Even so still very pleased with result.@nobby1967 Hey Mark! You inspired me to try my hand at making a tray as well. The panel is anigre with a ribbon makore cross banding. It was veneered using a hammer veneering process and hide glue or scotch glue (depending which side of the pond you are from). For the lip and handles I will use solid cherry. It’s far from perfect! You can see along the edges where I cracked the veneer and there are some other areas where the seem shows. I used a veneer saw to joint the beech before gluing the veneer to the substrate. I think the next time I will try and glue two pieces of veneer overlapping and then use a utility knife to create the joint. Anyways, I really enjoyed this project and I think it might become a Christmas present this year!!
Thanks for sharing your project!!

Scotch glue and hammer not so easy.
Once again grand effort you have done??Thanks Mark! The reverse side is not so good!! lol I only had one minor incident. I cut my thumb with an xacto knife when the knife slipped, while I was trimming the the veneer to the board.
Not a whole lot of information on the web about hammer veneering, especially from someone who has had a lot of working experience. I did watch this video at least a dozen times. I wish I could take a class or two on hammer veneering and marquetry.
