Subject : Veneering rules???

I know the rule in veneering is to veneer both sides of you substraight. But I'm making panels that will be locked in a frame and panel case side with dadoes plowed through the inside face holding shelves. If I'm not having and warp between the the glue up and assembly of the frame and panel is there anything wrong with only veneering one side? I'm veneering the plane side of veneer core cherry ply.

Thanks, Dewayne

I have veneered only the face side of "locked in" panels with no problems that I know of. Even if there is a tendency for your panel to move a little, is this so much different than a solid lumber panel that develops a mind of it's own? The original purpose of a frame and panel was to give a fixed boundry to a movable inner field. I don't think you are trying to do anything different. In fact, thinking philosophically, perhaps your "unstable" panel lends a bit of authenticity to the project.

There are some instances where veneering both sides is not really necessary, but my response to that is usually the same....it's not that much more work...why not just do it and be safe?

I'm with Brian, why not veneer both sides? Backer mahogany inexpensive and wide so it's quick to lay up.

If not, at the least I'd make a full sized test panel with the adhesive to be used, let it cure for a week, and complete the planned finishing schedule, then see how much it warped.

Since both sides of a panel can be veneered at the same time, and repairing a warped panel after the fact would be next to impossible, why cut the corner? Veneering both sides would add a very minor percentage to overall labor and cost of materials, and the risk, while perhaps small, would be a ruined piece of furniture. Just my two cents.
