I am building the Jewelry Chest from Woodsmith issue 89 (1993)
The top of the chest and sides are Veneer. The sides is not a problem but a little trouble with the top.
-My problem is I can not find walnut veneer wide enough. I would have to joint two pieces together.
Is that possible and have to bend it to form the top?
-Can I make my veneer paperback at home? Grocery sack or the like?
- I do have the option of using cherry wood and veneer. My hardwood dealer has wide, 8-10ft long paperback cherry veneer for $30 deal right now. But like to use the walnut.
- How would a walnut case with a cherry veneer top and sides look? Any photo of the woods together in a project?
Open to any ideas. Metal top? Make the top flat? Anything?
