Product Description
Woodworkers will learn how veneer is manufactured and how to choose glue, adhesives, and substrates; band-saw their own veneers; cut, match, and tape veneer panels; accomplish complete four-way matches; and other procedural skills in this expert guide. These techniques are demonstrated through a series of step-by-step exercises that culminate in four finished projects: a dining room table, a wall mirror with shelf, a marquetry picture, and a parquetry design. Complete with a troubleshooting section for repairs and problems and featuring contemporary methods and materials, such as hammer veneering with PVA glue and vacuum pressing of flat and curved panels, this reference is the most inclusive resource for working with veneer and inlay designs.

Wish I would have read this sooner
I'm fairly new to veneering. The pictures are interesting and clearly illustrate what is being talked about. This covers about ever aspect of veneering. The book's tone is informative and interesting. And I finally got a good idea of what hammer veneering is. I didn't realize that PVA glues could be hammered/heated like hide glue. Also, spritzing water on veneer is something I ever thought of to prevent curling, but its so obvious to me now that I've read the book. Pictures showing types of veneer available is a feast for the eyes.
A great all around reference
I have done a great deal of veneer work over the course of my woodworking career and I found this book to be a good all around guide to veneering. If you are new to veneering and looking for a thorough how-to or are experienced with veneer and looking for a couple new tricks I think you will find something worthwhile in this book.
Comprehensive source for understanding veneering
Jonathan Benson has compiled an impressive guide to veneering, useful to both novices and the seasoned woodworker. The generous use of photographs make each chapter easy to understand, especially in the more complex areas of veneer matching and problem solving. An important addition to any woodworker's library.
