This is an experiment to see how things would look just cutting out veneer and gluing it directly to another piece of wood without doing an inlay or a full veneer.
The border pieces are Holly stacked and cut on a scroll saw and then glued to a Wenge backing board. I found that the problem is the glue squeeze out. If I were to do this again I would probably apply glue to the back and let it dry. Then use an iron to apply it.
The veneer is Holly with a Wenge background and a Maple frame and Wenge in the corners for strength.
It was made for an 8×10 picture.
All in all it turned out pretty good.

Very nice! I thought at first it was scroll saw cut. The design was also very good. Excellent.
I am curious how did you cut the veneer and how did you avoid the smere of glue? Looks like you finally produced a wooden stickers that I can use to decorate my car console. Thanks for posting

Gary Very nice. I can see your problem with glue squeeze out. It’s tough to control the amount of glue.
I would think that it would have been eaqsier to put on the glue while still in sheets and then cut the pieces out and iron on.
Great design.

Good job, Gary. I have a knife for a molder at one of my suppliers that makes a frame like this one. I shouldnt say it’s mine, but they had it made for me. I was trying to sell frames with carved leather inserts. I guess it didn’t work.

Gary, when I first saw this I thought it was inlay-ed. It is a very nice design. Do you have a pattern you might share?

You could also try CA glue. I use it for a lot of my miniature pieces, which are often veneer and finicky and tiny and a *#[email protected]# to attach. It seems to work well. If you play around with different brands, some have a rather matte finish too that you don’t notice at all if it bleeds a little (and then absorbs into the wood on the back)

Looks great. What kind of glue will dry and apply with heat? hide glue?

You can do that with regular yellow or white glue.
