Long ago project, might actually be my first one.

Table saw veneer that is used for curved surfaces, very brave!

Good looking work, still have the car?

Sometimes ignorance is the best way to do something tricky. Yes, I do still have the car.

Nice work, and a nice looking car! I had a ‘56 210 4 door wagon many years ago. No wood on the dash, but it had an AC unit like that.

Wow, that is awesome! Dash is very well done, as well as installation, which couldn’t have been easy. I love the color of that car! Thanks for showing us!

Thanks guys, I wasn’t going to post this because I didn’t want it to be about the car. Not much talent needed to accomplish this, I just happened to see this in my picture library. I was so impressed that I could cut such a thin veneer with my new saw.

How did you bend it? Just get it hot? Steam?

-- Steven.......Random Orbital Nailer

To be honest I didn’t even know you could bend wood with steam. I just figured if I could get it thin enough it would bend right around that corner. I still have a thin strip left over in case I screwed up the first try or if I found someone else that might want that option. I’ll measure it and let you know how thin it was. Now that I think about it and know a little more I’m surprised it didn’t crack even though it was very thin.
