Frzninvt Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 I would love to take my '88 Oak Oil Klipschorn's to Greg in Maine and have him reveneer them in Mesquite and do a center La Scala to match I think that would look amazing! His work is stunning and he is about 5 hours from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbsl Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 This is a door. This door is 8 ' high x 35 " wide x 2 1/2" thick. The 1/8" thick veneer is made in my shop from a single plank that was only 2" thick and a little over 9" wide. The veneer on each side of the door is made into a 3'x8' sheet before applying to the built up core. The modified core is made from a 1 3/4" thick premium grade solid core door that has 1/4" MDF applied to both sides with West brand epoxy. The veneer is also glued on with epoxy and both sides are exactly the same. I use a vacuum bag veneer press made by Mercury Vacuum Presses. The sides, top and bottom have thick mesquite edge banding and the door appears to be made from four thick planks glued together. Back to the main photo gallery http://www.wghwoodworking.com/pages/mesquite_veneered.html Wayne Hausknecht has been making fine custom doors and furniture in Tucson, Arizona since 1981. Working out of a restored adobe building built in the 1920's, Wayne specializes in designing, building, and installing traditional and modern doors handcrafted from selected hardwoods, softwoods, and native mesquite.

funkyhambone Posted November 5, 2007 Author Share Posted November 5, 2007 wow, both those mesquites look like they would be really cool looking. i hope that i would never get too lit and throw the top boards under the charcoals. i guess i better stick with raw mesquite. lacquered could make for an interesting buzz.
