m00n Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 So I found a place that seems to have decent prices on veneer ( http://www.joewoodworker.com/ ) and have found some that I want, but was not sure what mil you guy have been using... 10 or 20?

Jay481985 Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I think 1/42 is sufficent also look at http://stores.ebay.com/Veneer-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwh Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I assume you're referring to the thickness of the paper backing -- 10 mil or 20 mil. That would be some *very* thin veneer. [] The 20 mil backing makes the veneer stiffer and more resistant to careless handling. I used 10 mil walnut for my Khorns because it was cheap, and had no trouble with it's durability during installation. Even the 10 mil backing is rather heavy -- kind of like a thick paper grocery bag. Also, if your piece has edges you're going to veneer, the 20 mil paper may make a more visible line at the corner. What are you veneering? - Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00n Posted August 6, 2006 Author Share Posted August 6, 2006 What are you veneering? - Bill Cornwalls. I took empty cornwall 1 boxes converted them into cornwall 2 boxes. Bought every component for them, built my own crossovers. I'm at the veneer stage and I just cant get motavated to do it. I have no interest in the job.

mungkiman Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Do I have to threaten to take the boxes back? C'mon m00n, you've made it this far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00n Posted August 7, 2006 Author Share Posted August 7, 2006 LOL... I know I know... I just don't have the umph to getter done. Part of it too is that I spent over 60.00 on a huge chunk of solid oak thinking I was going to be a woodworking stud and make my own veneer with my bandsaw. I took a couple of slices off that oak and said forget this. Now, I have to go and spend close to 100.00 on some veneer. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay481985 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Take a look at the price of the ebay seller that has a perfect record and I have brought from before. try 25 dollars or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 m00n, I'm impressed that you'd even consider making your own veneer. That would be tough. Real men still buy veneer, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungkiman Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 You'll do it m00n, when you're ready. Try before you're ready, and it will be a pain. Make it a labor of love. Do you like the sound enough for the effort? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
