Dear Dave,The stitcher is a wonderful veneering tool but it is not the right choice for veneering a sunburst pattern. This really needs to be hand taped with no hole veneer tape in my opinion. A little advise on protecting the tips, I place a small piece of veneer tape on the top side of the veneer in the area where the point will be before I cut them into pie shapes. This protects them from falling apart as I work the pattern. The only thing you need to be careful of is making sure your putting the tape on the top side of each veneer piece since in book matching you are flipping every other piece over and depending on how you layout your matching the veneer pieces are not in consecutive order either.SincerelyDarryl Keil: Thankyou Darryl and Bryce for your excellent advice.: I have a question about your handheld veneer stitcher Darryl. Would : it be better than the 3-hole tape for a sunburst? How fragile is the : joint compared to 3-hole? I've been taping 1/2 of the sunburst, then : trimming the 1/2 sheets in the guillotine again, and then taping the : two halves together, and finally removing the masking tape. All this : handling results in some tearing of the tape, usually near the : points. Would I experience the same problem with the stitcher? : I really appreciate the forum and the time you take to answer our : questions.: Dave
