Good morning everyone, I suggest this video about a 175-year-old Walnut tree because I know you’re going to like it. I hope you will check it out leave a comment and subscribe to their channel. I’m excited to work with GL Veneer and create more Veneer projects. Let me know what you think for this next project Walnut, White Oak, or A combination of both. have a great day, Jon ruclips.net/video/mDwHLNUqulY/видео.html
Jon, my vote is walnut. Which ever you choose, I prefer you cover one side, then the top and finally, the other side. This will create, I believe, a very nice continuous run of grain. Good luck and thanks for all of the great videos! Rickster
I was a always afraid of veneer as I was taught it needs to be pressed evenly for a long time after glueing. Now I see it's much easier using contact cement and your video makes me wanting to veneer, thanks a lot, Jon! :)
Really looking forward to this series. Great that you're starting out very basic and working up from there. I've never veneered before and I'm sure I'm not alone. I've seen you do it in the past but a good step by step would be super. It's all in the little details for me. Sometimes the simple taken for granted stuff that beginners don't know makes or breaks a project. Thanks for this. Walnut
Hello Jon, could you describe in your veneering videos how you would go about veneering rounded corners and complex angles? Do you ever use paper templates to work out inside dimensions?
I don't want this to come off insulting to anyone but, until I really started learning about verneer from you I always thought it was for cheaper furniture. Some much good info. in this video Jon. Hoping all is well Bud, Dirty Jersey out!!
Great breakdown video! I've done quite a few speaker cabinets, but nothing as large as this countertop desk I made. Looks pretty straight forward. Thank you!
That claro walnut is gorgeous. I vote for that. Also, I hope that you'll demonstrate how to plan your veneer cuts so that the grain is continuous across the sides and the top, and across the drawer fronts. Thanks for the great videos.
Not a big fan of mid-century modern, but there are many other cases where knowing how to veneer is a needed skill. I usually opt for a veneer trimmer to bring it to size, though. I find it provides an accurate edge, and reduces the need to sand. I've also edge-banded as the final step, so the edge of the veneer is hidden, but we're talking ~ 1/64th here, so probably not such an issue. Great video, though, and the walnut is the winner. :)
I’m trying to cover 2 glass doors with veneer. I’m concerned about adhesion. The doors are about 12 x 28. Would you recommend etching the glass first with etching cream to help with this issue? Thanks
Thanks for the video. I have mainly been applying veneer prior to assembly. This gives me new ideas! However, I really suggest water-based contact cement. In my opinion, the normal stuff is awful. Small like crazy and keeps releasing VOCs. I have good experience with the 3M but it's expensive so I generally use Wilsonart H2O contact cement.
What else can be used to trim the edges of the vaneer instead or a router tool? Is there a manual tool that can be used instead? A manual wood planing tool maybe? Or will that cause the wood to split if cutting perpendicular to the grain?
Either veneer will look great. I would probably lean toward the walnut because it would fit better in my home. Looking forward to the build. Thanks Jon!
Very good timing for me. In what order would you do the inside of the box. I do the outside just as you did but this will be my first experience doing the interior. Thanks.
Great tips! Cool furniture! One thing I'd do differently with the box you made is to have the face of the cabinet have trim that is at least as deep as the doors so you don't see the white ply peeking out in the end.
Jon - I wonder if you'd ever do a video explaining the differences in veneer options when looking to buy for a project. Like the 10 mil vs 20 mil - when to use one over the other. What is paper backed? PSA? I took at look at the GL website and it was a tad confusing with soooo many options! Some help from a trusted source would be great! Thanks.
I never really considered using it, but you point about the grain on Danish modern furniture has me intrigued. How much does a sheet like the one in front of you go for?
Great to see GL's sponsorship, Jon...and your tutorial approach to what I've been intimidated to use, so far. Veneer choice? I"d like you to have the design freedom to consider using a combination of the two veneers.
I enjoyed the tutorial, John. I haven't worked with veneers but it seems like a practical alternative to solid wood if you prep your project properly. Also, I vote for the white oak.

Hi Jon! What about the interior of the furniture? It is suitable to use veneers there? Thank you!
I guess I would consider what other pieces of furniture are in the room where the dresser will go. They both look beautiful, but I would pick the one that will compliment the other furniture.
I'm watching you push on that flat board as you attempt to strengthen the adhesion between the veneer and the project back face and I'm thinking you might "split" the veneer due to too much pressure from the lead edge of the push board. I think the use of the J-roller would be a safer tool to use. Have you experienced any tear-out doing your method? Thanks for the veneer 101, it's very informative.
Hi,Thank you for the wonderful, informative video on Veneers 101. I have some Tuano Ash veneer. Its beautiful. I would appreciate any thoughts you might have before working with it. I plan on doing a smaller project as suggested. :) Helen
Weird question... I have a partial roll of cherry veneer. The other half was apparently used on a piece in the Smithsonian, not relevant but interesting all the Same. So basically I'm building a bar for outdoor use, I have some cherry bar rails and plenty of cherry wood for a bar top but in order to cost save/time save I'm wondering if I can use the veneer on some pine and still manage to use a finish that would weatherproof it. I've only been woodworking for a few years I'm still learning constantly. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
If I’m attaching a wood veneer to a solid wood surface, should I put anything between them? We are trying to put veneer on a dresser after removing the old damaged veneer, and it doesn’t want to stick. Maybe we need another layer of contact cement.
@@JonPetersArtHome Awesome, thank you! Also, I really enjoyed your video. We've been having a hard time finding information on veneers, the local stores don't work with veneers much and didn't have much insight. I really appreciate your feedback!
Great tutorial video. I am wondering about the cost of buying plywood and then veneering the plywood as opposed to buying already veneered plywood. Any comments? I know the choice of veneers is larger than the choice of veneered plywoods. Are there any other advantages of using a venner over a veneered plywood?
@@SuperCC112 thanks, I never have and have never had an issue. Maybe for two reasons… One I’m veneering over Plywood and two I’m veneering over a structure like a cabinet… Not just a panel or a top that might be subject to warping. I just remembered that I have vineyard over doors and also haven’t had a problem but again I’m veneering over Plywood
Hey Jon, when looking at the GL website looking at sizes, what thickness are you ordering? Is the 10 and 20 mil paper too thin for this kind of application? Thanks!
I have some Danish modern furniture that is over 50 years but has seen better days. Can they be for a lack of a better term, " re-veneered"? Or somehow repaired ? Thanks, great channel and have been a happy subscriber !!!😃😃😃

Can’t go wrong with either, both are beautiful woods!
Jon - I’d like to see your creativity in using a combination of both walnut and white oak. Thanks for all the information.

Hello Jon, could you describe in your veneering videos how you would go about veneering rounded corners and complex angles? Do you ever use paper templates to work out inside dimensions?
I once made a walnut box with scraps and red oak ply for panels and still really like that combination. So I lean towards a combo.
I don't want this to come off insulting to anyone but, until I really started learning about verneer from you I always thought it was for cheaper furniture. Some much good info. in this video Jon. Hoping all is well Bud, Dirty Jersey out!!
Thanks Jon. About to start my first veneer project!!
Great breakdown video! I've done quite a few speaker cabinets, but nothing as large as this countertop desk I made. Looks pretty straight forward. Thank you!
Thanks for the comment, I’m glad the video was helpful
Hi John can you also talk about the different types of backing and glues? Thanks
Awesome 101 veneer video. I'm going to start applying veneer to my wood work projects.
Would putting the solid wood edge trim on after the veneer do a better job of covering the edge of the veneer on the top and sides?
I have the same question. Hope he answers this.
That claro walnut is gorgeous. I vote for that. Also, I hope that you'll demonstrate how to plan your veneer cuts so that the grain is continuous across the sides and the top, and across the drawer fronts. Thanks for the great videos.
I'm a fan of white oak, it has a beautiful look
Veneer work is something I’d like to add to my arsenal!
White Oak. Very good simple explanations.
Not a big fan of mid-century modern, but there are many other cases where knowing how to veneer is a needed skill. I usually opt for a veneer trimmer to bring it to size, though. I find it provides an accurate edge, and reduces the need to sand. I've also edge-banded as the final step, so the edge of the veneer is hidden, but we're talking ~ 1/64th here, so probably not such an issue. Great video, though, and the walnut is the winner. :)
Thanks for the advice. I'll be checking out more of your work. Its a really helpful to get experienced information to utilise in my work
Glad to hear it, thanks!
Go for the combo!
I was going with Walnut. But then you said maybe a combination of both. I vote both! I really want to see both of them together.
Awesome. Combo would be spectacular
Do you have a good video showing beginner router tips? That's the next tool on my wish list but I have no experience.
I’m trying to cover 2 glass doors with veneer. I’m concerned about adhesion. The doors are about 12 x 28. Would you recommend etching the glass first with etching cream to help with this issue? Thanks

I'd love to see both used! Thank you for all the great videos
Either veneer will look great. I would probably lean toward the walnut because it would fit better in my home. Looking forward to the build. Thanks Jon!
I'm not clear on what you used for the 3/4 trim. Was it veneer also? If it was how did you cut it?
I’m hooked on the MCM design. Thanks for this, I’m going to try and build this
Very good timing for me. In what order would you do the inside of the box. I do the outside just as you did but this will be my first experience doing the interior. Thanks.
What do you do with the insode of your cabinets especially if you have a dark veneer on the exterior? Thx
Go with the combo of the two!
Great tip to PRACTICE! Thanks, Jon. Would love to see the build.
combination of both veneers please. I'm eager to watch and learn, as I know zero about veneering!
Thanks Jon
Could you do a video on router setup and technique for cutting veneers with flush cut bit?
I think a combination is a great idea. Can't wait, and thank you for all the great information.
What type of backing is your venner. I have done a job with paperback and contact cement and it bubbled after a month have you ever had this problem
I vote for COMBINATION. Thanks for the great first lesson!
I just want to say your nails look great.
This is exciting! I love it!
A combination of both would be nice Jon, nice contrast I think anyway have a nice day and Stay Safe !!!.
Is it a bad idea to use a trim router on a larger veneer project?
Walnut. Also great video edits between your explanation of a process followed by the actual work being carried out. Very informative.
Great tips! Cool furniture! One thing I'd do differently with the box you made is to have the face of the cabinet have trim that is at least as deep as the doors so you don't see the white ply peeking out in the end.
Walnut. That looks so good.
Great video Jon!!
Combo would look great!
Thank you!! We will try that.
Awesome! Thanks for the comment 👍
thanks for sharing..a very good basics on veneer handlings..
Great 101 Jon - Big fan of White Oak...
good info. question: how to you flatten back a cabinet door's corner edge that has bulged due to kettle steam ?
thanks
Jon - I wonder if you'd ever do a video explaining the differences in veneer options when looking to buy for a project. Like the 10 mil vs 20 mil - when to use one over the other. What is paper backed? PSA? I took at look at the GL website and it was a tad confusing with soooo many options! Some help from a trusted source would be great! Thanks.
Great Idea billy , I will talk to G L veneer and ask to get a few samples to make a video, thanks!
@@JonPetersArtHome I’m wondering the same thing. I am brand new to veneer and would love to get into it.
Walnut please :) Looking forward to following along!
Combo of both sounds interesting Jon.
I would like to see a combination between the two but if only 1 go with oak.
Would love to see a combo of both.
I never really considered using it, but you point about the grain on Danish modern furniture has me intrigued. How much does a sheet like the one in front of you go for?
Ooo use them both! Thanks for another helpful video!

Thank you for this vid. Very timely (for me) and informative. Am enjoying your channel tremendously!
Jon when and why did you switch your compound miter saw from Bosch to Festool? Thanks
Love contrasting wood species. I would love to see your artistic expression using both!
Hi,Thank you for the wonderful, informative video on Veneers 101. I have some Tuano Ash veneer. Its beautiful. I would appreciate any thoughts you might have before working with it. I plan on doing a smaller project as suggested. :) Helen
What is your thoughts on finishing the inside of the cabinet? Try to match veneer color? Leave as is?
Quarter-sawn white oak with a Mission style chest of drawers...haven't seen you try that style yet.
White oak & walnut combo!
What oil did you use n that walnut cabinet?
Weird question... I have a partial roll of cherry veneer. The other half was apparently used on a piece in the Smithsonian, not relevant but interesting all the Same.

I probably wouldn’t use veneer for outdoor projects
If I’m attaching a wood veneer to a solid wood surface, should I put anything between them? We are trying to put veneer on a dresser after removing the old damaged veneer, and it doesn’t want to stick. Maybe we need another layer of contact cement.
I always use two coats of contact cement… The first one tends to absorb into the wood… so yes another coat might be what you need.
@@JonPetersArtHome Awesome, thank you! Also, I really enjoyed your video. We've been having a hard time finding information on veneers, the local stores don't work with veneers much and didn't have much insight. I really appreciate your feedback!
Can I use titebond 3 instead of the glue you showed?

Walnut plz. Although I'm sure to love any build you do
White oak or combination please. Everyone does walnut.
Thank you for going through the process so clearly. Very useful for me and I’ll definitely give veneering a go now.
Hey Jon. Thanks for another awesome video. Is it not necessary to veneer both inside and outside of the box?
@@SuperCC112 thanks, I never have and have never had an issue. Maybe for two reasons… One I’m veneering over Plywood and two I’m veneering over a structure like a cabinet… Not just a panel or a top that might be subject to warping.
I just remembered that I have vineyard over doors and also haven’t had a problem but again I’m veneering over Plywood
@@JonPetersArtHome okay that sounds awesome. I play to do over plywood myself. Your video is so inspiring. I planned to use your method.
@@SuperCC112 awesome thanks!
Walnut. Thanks for the veneer info.
Id like them together ❤ but Walnut if only one!
Walnut. Look forward to the build.
I have bubbles in the veneer I applied on a door. Can it be fixed
Hey Jon, when looking at the GL website looking at sizes, what thickness are you ordering? Is the 10 and 20 mil paper too thin for this kind of application? Thanks!
I love the look of the Walnut, so I'm gonna say White Oak - It would be nice to see the 'box' in Oak for a change.
I’d like to see a combo of the 2
Can you apply veneer for painted closet
Excellent! Thanks for posting!
I vote white oak case with walnut drawers, or accents.
Love your content that you post. I would like to see you use the White Oak as I feel that Walnut has been the dominant wood for some time.
Thank you Jon great clip as usual.
I have some Danish modern furniture that is over 50 years but has seen better days. Can they be for a lack of a better term, " re-veneered"? Or somehow repaired ?
Thanks, great channel and have been a happy subscriber !!!😃😃😃
White oak, Jon, or both could be nice. Thank you very much, warm greetings from México.
Thanks! Great tutorial!
How thick is the veneer you use? 10 or 20ml?
If you weren't using paper-backed veneer, would you still use contact adhesive?
