Subject : Veneering maple on maple
Posted : 2003-03-30 8:37 PM
Post #28807

I am constructing cabinets with birdseye maple door panels. I had originally intended to use quartersawn maple for the door frames, but have not been able to obtain any other than very expensive sap wood only boards (about four times the price of regular maple). I am thinking of using regular maple for the frames, but veneering over the solid wood with quartersawn maple veneer to obtain the look I want. In veneering quartersawn material over flatsawn solid wood, which would be my best choice for glue? I am using Unibond 800 for the panels, but will this be too rigid given that the substrate is not dimensionally stable, and would I be better off with a PVA? My intention is to veneer only the front and rear faces of the boards, leaving the sides (which already have the quartersawn appearance) as is. Therefore, I am also interested in minimizing any glue line appearing where the veneer and solid material meet.

Keith,For the size of maple parts you are using, PVA glue or Unibond 800 is fine. Choose what you prefer. The parts would have to be a lot bigger before I would get glue specific. You glue line visuals should be the same with both glues provide you use the white catalyst with the Unibond 800.SincerelyDarryl Keil: I am constructing cabinets with birdseye maple door panels.
