Subject : Veneering drawer fronts?
Posted : 2002-03-12 11:14 AM

I am building a fancy tool chest to go under my bench. I tooka class last summer at Phil Lowe's place and was inspired by the full time students' tool chests. I am building the bse out of maple, and would like ot use curly maple veneer on the drawer fronts. I'm wondering what would be a good way to make the drawer fronts? MDF as a substrate and maybe a ****beading to protect the edges? The drawer fronts are about 17" wide, so I am thinking a bookmatch pattern if I can get some wide veneer. Sort of thinking about an inlay too, but not sure I want to go that far. Anyway, thanks for any tips/ideas.Tony

Tony, I thnk mdf and ****bead would work just fine. Also, I think a short grain border about 1 1/4 wide with stripe of another contrasting colored veneer between the border and your maple would work as your inlay and ths way you could tape it all together as one piece and eliminate having to rout it in later risking a mistake. Goodluck, John.
