Dear Craig,I suggest doing it like you were making a marquetry panel, which is done by laying one veneer on top of the other and cutting on a deep throat reciprocating stationary saw set on a 12 degree bevel. You use a very fine blade for this. SincerelyDarryl Keil: In an entertainment center I am making, I want to face two drawer : fronts with two dissimilar veneers. To give you an idea of how they : will appear: Looking at one drawer front the top half will be a : veneer with a little different figure and color than the veneer in : the lower half of the front. The two will come together with a wavy : line separating them. : Here's the trick I am uncertain of: How to get these two veneers : joined to one another along that wavy line and get a tight joint with : no gap.: I've had many thoughts about it, but am unsure of the most reliable : method. I've seen this design in mnay pieces and have often wondered : how it is done.: Joining two straight pieces of veneer is easy enough: use a shooting : board and handplane. But what about other than a straight line?? I : have doubts about a router leaving a smooth edge for a tight joint, : even if I do use some kind of template or 'sandwich'.: Any thoughts are appreciated.
