Im planning a record cabinet that will be made predominantly with shop sawn veneered ash on a baltic birch core. In the past, I have always done a solid wood edge banding glue to the BB core, with the veneer then being glued on top of that. However, ive had some issues with the veneer material being a slightly different shade than the solid wood captured banding, so there is a noticeable line.
Im curious how other people that utilize shop sawn veneer go about edging their panels. Id like to add a slight thumbnail profile to the edging, and was thinking of using one of those v groove edge banding router bit sets to accomplish this, with the edging have a v shape on the back side and a thumbail profile on the exposed side, and then glueing it in place. Or is it best to do the thumbnail after gluing the edging on?
Thank you!
