You will learn to: • Select veneer to use to create a simple 2-way bookmatch on two 1/4" thick MDF panels. • Prepare the veneer for cutting.
You will learn to: • Properly sequence, stack, and tape veneer to prepare for cutting. • Use a straight edge and a veneer saw to cut veneer to prepare for seaming. • Create a book-match and tape the seam together temporarily on the back to prepare for taping the front side using veneer tape.
You will learn to: • Apply veneer tape to the book-matched veneer. • Prepare the veneer, substrates, and cauls for glue application.
You will learn to: • Apply glue to the veneer and substrate. • Put the panels into the vacuum bag and properly evacuate the air. • After the panels are removed from the bag and cured, properly remove the veneer tape before scraping and sanding.
You will learn to: • Scrape and final sand the book-matched veneered panels before milling the frame. • Trim the edges of the panels to remove glue and any rolled over edges. This will provide a more "true" thickness for the edge of the panel to use when milling the grooves in the frame that will...
