Thank you for your vlog. The veneer repair method you demonstrate in this video is well done. In cases where the repair must ABSOLUTELY NOT be VISIBLE, such as on high-value furniture, I have found that a patch method, where the new veneer meets the original veneer, is better hidden with NON-LINEAR patch perimeters. Additionally, in a non-linear perimeter patch method, the newly created patch perimeter should follow the grains of both the existing veneer and the patch veneer. Sawtooth-like perimeters, where each tooth size varies in accordance to the veneer defect, works great. Yes, it is more difficult/time consuming, but when your patch must NOT be visible at all, the NON-LINEAR perimeter method is more invisible. In a few cases, I have even drawn/painted grain lines into the new patch veneer matching the existing grains of the original veneer, with a very fine-haired artist's brush. Thanks again for your wood workmanship and vlog.
Love all your videos! Your clear footage and explanations, direct no nonsense approach that stays on topic, and beautiful work, I believe, makes your channel one of the best on this subject! Thank you!
Amazing! Thank you so much for this video! If you could help me(even more), I have an old furniture i'm working on, and I plan to have it fully sanded, then french polished. How should I proceed to match both finishes of the veneer and the original hardwood? Should I glue the veneer before starting to french polish? Kinda confusing on that. Thanks!
Incredibly helpful! I recently purchased some Thomasville bookcases from the 80s with some missing veneer. Can wait to fix it!
How did ur project turn out?

Going to have to subscribe to you after this FS
striping and staining are the best parts.
great video thx so much
Thank you.
How I hate particle board.
Now they are saying MDF and reviewers say it smells of off gassing. Is plywood with veneer better than those?
@@Ma_Ba MDF is absolutely terrible! It's super heavy, but extremely fragile! It looks very worn out very easily!
well jesz that's kind of sloppy isn't it? isn't it far better to just remove the entire strip and redo and refeather it into the side veneer?
That isn't the final look though!
Looks like crap 💩
