Dear Kim,The veneering technique you saw in the Working in a Vacuum video where the birdseye maple veneer is pressed over the top of a round table with a radiused edge is about as much as canbe expected from this compound curve method. To veneer a oval table with a full bullnose justwont really work, a quarter radius yes, full bullnose no.If you veneer just a bent laminated bullnose you can probably press and massage the veneerover it, but I dont think it will give you the look you want. I would be more inclined to eithertalk the client into a quarter radius edge detail which can be veneered with the seamless effectyou are looking for or make them up a sample with a classy inlay between the veneered topand solid bullnose edging, which I think would look very sharp. That would be my approach at least.SincerelyDarryl Keil: Hi Darryl & Frank,: I have a client who wants an oval table in quilted maple or fiddleback anigre (still undecided). The client wants a seamless : transition between the tabletop and over the edge: i.e., no edging banding, inlay, etc. between top and edge. I need some : help designing a technically workable edge transition. Ideally I'd like the veneer to flow directly from the top of the table over : a bull nose edge treatment. I've watched Daryl's video but just don't think I can make this work on an oval because the bull : nose flows under the tabletop. Can I make this work?: Given that I can't veneer directly, we're considered the following solution:: 1) Bend solid or bending ply into a laminated curve.: 2) Cut the bull nose into the curve.: 3) Remove the platen from the bag and veneer the compound curve: 4) Attach the molding to the panel: Assuming this procedure is good we have several questions:: 1) Can you cut a pull nose into bending ply and veneer over it, or should be use solid wood for the lamination.: 2) Can you veneer quilted maple or fiddleback anigre onto a compound curve.: 3) Do we veneer the panel before or after putting on the molding? What we're worried about is if we veneer after : putting on the molding, the glue line will show when we sand. But how do you make seamless transition if you veneer the : panel first and then put the molding on? Do you positively need an inlay between the panel and the molding: i.e., do I need to : convince my client?  : Thanks for your help. Anything else we need to be concerned with.: Kim Carleton Graves: Carleton Woodworking
