Dressing Up an Edge with Veneer

April 1, 2016

Here I'm applying the small veneers to the table edge. It's kind of slow going, but requires really precise fitting of all 18 pieces of edge veneer. Just the kind of thing I enjoy.

With the solid edging glued to the substrate, I made the top round with a router and circle-cutting jig. Next up: gluing the veneers to the table edges.

Picking back up on the table project. The top veneers (from a few posts back) are applied over a substrate of Baltic birch plywood. Here I'm gluing the solid maple edging to the substrate. Everything is splined to ease this process as well as for strength.
