Thank you for your vlog. The veneer repair method you demonstrate in this video is well done. In cases where the repair must ABSOLUTELY NOT be VISIBLE, such as on high-value furniture, I have found that a patch method, where the new veneer meets the original veneer, is better hidden with NON-LINEAR patch perimeters. Additionally, in a non-linear perimeter patch method, the newly created patch perimeter should follow the grains of both the existing veneer and the patch veneer. Sawtooth-like perimeters, where each tooth size varies in accordance to the veneer defect, works great. Yes, it is more difficult/time consuming, but when your patch must NOT be visible at all, the NON-LINEAR perimeter method is more invisible. In a few cases, I have even drawn/painted grain lines into the new patch veneer matching the existing grains of the original veneer, with a very fine-haired artist's brush. Thanks again for your wood workmanship and vlog.
Love all your videos! Your clear footage and explanations, direct no nonsense approach that stays on topic, and beautiful work, I believe, makes your channel one of the best on this subject! Thank you!
Amazing! Thank you so much for this video! If you could help me(even more), I have an old furniture i'm working on, and I plan to have it fully sanded, then french polished. How should I proceed to match both finishes of the veneer and the original hardwood? Should I glue the veneer before starting to french polish? Kinda confusing on that. Thanks!
