I with the help of a friend will be veneering my decorators this weekend. I am standstill on what to do with the backs. I have enough veneer (cherry) to do the backs, but by veneering the backs I feel inclined to do the edges (so the edges match) therefore covering up the serial numbers ect. Also, by veneering the backs the labels will be destroyed. I could re-stamp the serial numbers somewhere else. I would like to keep these as close to original as possible. Would veneering the backs including edges be moving away for originality? Is veneering the backs a big no no? Of course the easy solution is to just paint black. Thoughts? Ideas?
