Need Advice: Demanding Client/ Veneered Panels

I pick and choose my clients. If they want something I don’t want to do I move on.

A sheet good substrate is a better options for veneer work. Why wouldn’t you use the best option available?

Use high end plywood substrate like garnica plywood.

OK cool – just never done it. So just a good grade plywood ?

Agree…

Properly designed solid wood furniture has survived hundreds of years with its veneer and marquetry panels intact but good plywood certainly simplifies the job.

Depending on how large the panels are, I might be be looking at a vacuum set up. Crotch veneer can be difficult to deal with, especially if its wavy you’ll need veneer softener.

Paul will tell us how, but as a hammer veneering newbie, I don’t now how you do a large panel without the glue drying too fast – put the substrate on heating pad maybe?

Hammer veneering is certainly an option. How big is the panel?
