Requiring no expensive machinery, veneering offers woodworkers tremendous opportunities for creativity—and for using woods that may be rare, expensive, or structurally weak in their solid form. With this revised version of a classic guide—which includes a brand-new section on marquetry—woodworkers can learn all the basics, from terminology to materials, tools to techniques. There’s detailed instruction on substrates and bonding; preparing the wood; cutting, coloring, and strengthening the veneer; and various methods of finishing and polishing for long-lasting beauty. The exquisite projects range from boxes to a blanket chest, from a kidney-shaped desk to a round dining table. Like having a master craftsman close by, this unique course will help take woodworking skills to new heights.
