Subject : Veneer on Solid Substrate
Posted : 2003-05-21 7:00 PM
Post #28933

I'm working on a project in Bubinga and will be veneering the paneled doors with a figured Bubinga veneer. I have glued the door panels out of strips 1/2" thick by 1 3/8" wide to make a total width of 18" x 27" long. By using many small strips of edge grain material I hope to minimize wood movement. My question is this. Do I need to make a two ply to press onto the substrate or can I press the single sheet of veneer directly?. Will wood movement between these strips since they are quartered material cause any defects in the finished piece. Any help would be appreciated.ThanksRick

Rick,When you veneer on top of solid especially a piece as wide as yours, always apply a single veneer going in the same direction as the solid. This way everything can move together. The fact that your core is quarter cut will not make a differnce. If your panel is the actual door, not just the door panel, put the same veneer on the front and back for balanceSincerelyDarryl Keil: I'm working on a project in Bubinga and will be veneering the : paneled doors with a figured Bubinga veneer.
