June 12-16
Veneer is popular for the wide selection of wood species and figures that it presents to the furniture maker, and for the design freedom it offers by diminishing the constraints of wood movement. In this course, students learn to work competently with commercial veneer to make beautiful, finished panels applicable to table tops, casework, and boxes. Adrian provides instruction in basic book matching, four-way and radial matching, and applying short-grain borders, as well as edge treatments, parquetry patterns, string inlay, and the use of the vacuum press. Participants learn by building two veneered tabletops or similar panels, with patterns of their own design.
