veneering

Try to avoid it. Solid wood moves, the best thing to do is to use a stable substrate if possible, ie. plywood or mdf. General rule when veneering is to always veneer both sides, this is to equalize pressure and prevent cupping or warping.

Thanks for the advice, I did however do a little more research and found an article in Fine Woodworking regarding the subject. It had stated that contrary to popular belief you can veneer over a solid substrate so long as the grain travels in the same direction. I don’t think that I have much alternative in this case. We’ll see what happens.

i do it alot, and you are correct ,grain in the same direction, and above all and foremost , veneer both side’s,at the same time..otherwise it will cup on the veneered side and you will play the devil getting it corrected…
