I'll be at the Minnesota Woodworkers Guild in early November to teach a new class to explore the fundamentals of veneering and provide a methodical approach to working raw veneer into decoratively veneered marquetry panels using simple tools and techniques. Attendees will learn about basic and advanced veneer handling, cutting and joining techniques and gluing and vacuum pressing. The class will also cover designing with veneers, substrate selection, taping, gluing, pressing of curved and flat work, trouble shooting, and sanding and finishing.
