Topic tags/keywords: veneer drawer front cherry I am planing a six drawer chest with inset drawers. My question involves what order to veneer the fronts ? I am thinking it goes 1) back of drawer, 2) sides of drawer, 3) front of drawer ???? Thank you Dave -- To see samples of my work, please visit https://www.facebook.com/bigkahunaranch |

Are you referring to just the front piece of the drawer? -- Paul M ..............If God wanted us to have fiberglass boats he would have given us fibreglass trees. http://thecanadianschooloffrenchmarquetry.com/ |

I assume from your question you’re venerring over plywood or another species, right? Paul M knows more than me, but if you are veneering over plywood I would reconsider because of concern for the edges coming loose. You could band the ply I guess, but to go through all that trouble, just use a lower grade cherry for the substrate? Also, seems like cockbeading or some type of banding is often done to protect the edges of the veneer. -- Everything is a prototype thats why its one of a kind!! |

I made a small set of drawers and made the drawer front with plywood and edge banded it with walnut. Then put the veneer on the front and back. -- John, Colorado's (Wooden Wizard) |

You could edge with thicker strips of cherry first and then veneer the front and back but you can also veneer right on the plywood edge. If you sand it well it will glue just as well as a solid surface, at least with HHG it does for me. -- Paul M ..............If God wanted us to have fiberglass boats he would have given us fibreglass trees. http://thecanadianschooloffrenchmarquetry.com/ |

Applying thicker edging before veneering allows for a small chamfer on the corners without risk of cutting into the substrate. -- See my work at http://remmertstudios.com and http://altaredesign.com |
