Dear Scott,Im not sure I understood everything you were saying but bottom line is when you only veneer one side you can get some warping of your panel. On a cabinet side or other fixed parts it may not be such a big deal but on a door any warping really shows up in the way it ends up hanging. In fact, I would suggest you veneer both sides at the same time. If you cant do that, at least veneer the other side as soon as you take the door out from doing the first side.SincerelyDarryl Keil: I'm interested in building a line of exotic doors in the Italian : style of some type of burl, stained in a bright red then finished : with a high gloss finish.: What I'm thinking of doing is to establish a standard door that will : accept veneer efficiently and allow the options to be the beauty of : the wood veneer. My current thoughts are to purchase a black : Melamine on one side, or sand it off, route a 3/4 edge at the top and : bottom, edgeband the sides with complimentary color, veneer the front : of the door and finish the front and edges with a high gloss finish. : I may need to cover the black Melamine with some protective plastic : but seems to me it would be attractive and efficient.: My question is what do you think of this process or should I just : start with an MDF blank, veneer the back then the front. It seems : like the Melamine partical board may telegraph through to the veneer : and finish.
