My New Hatch Cover #2: Cosmetic Veneering
You may have seen this video before. It was made for this blog but I added it to my “Hide Glue for Beginners” one as well. It sort of belongs in both. Anyway skip it if you’ve already seen it. When we left off, the hatch cover was structurally finished but didn’t look too good. So the next step was to veneer it with some nice mahogany strips These will make the cover look like it was actually made out of the narrow boards necessary to form the curve. I got to use my new veneer hammer. Once the strips were down the other end needed to be cut off and a strip run across the end. All finished up but a little plain. Maybe some banding…. A 1/8...
