- Novice veneering project number 1. Veneering a Small Box. Keepsake or jewelry boxes make excellent gifts. Did you ever want to find a gift for that hard to buy for person in your life? Why not make a beautiful hand crafted decorative box?
I designed this project for the novice veneer user in mind. Now you can create a wonderful decorative wooden box using a few square feet of exotic wood veneers, minimum tools and only hand craft skills.

I have made hundreds of boxes using the methods described in this video and no two are identical. Exotic wood veneers are available in hundreds species and figures.

I like Titebond II for most veneer projects.

Safety razor blade 100 count. TIP 1: keep the paper wrapper on and peel away at the tip only. This will keep your fingers out of harms way. TIP 2: Use a new blade often. A sharp blade is what works best.

Simple and informative, leaving out the excessive chatter found on some videos. Many thanks for this!
I thank you for the kind words.
Wow this video is very insightful, thanks for taking the time to share your talent on this video .
My pleasure!
Clear, simple, straightforward - well done!
Thank you for the kind words.
@@volpewoodworks9286 just started my first box 📦. Half the veneer is on and I've learned a lot!
Remember! Clamping is the key to a good veneer job. Send me some images of the completed project. I'd love to see how it comes out.
@@volpewoodworks9286 will do!
One of the better most informative videos I have ever seen on this subject. Beginning to end process was beautiful. Thank you. I subscribed. You deserve more exposure
Thank you for the kind words. Please check back in a few weeks. I'm finishing a third project video that shows the basics of the Iron On method of bonding veneers using Titebond as the adhesive. It's one of my favorite projects to make. It's a wall clock using a unique veneer as the visual interest.
Used your walnut veneer on the 1938 Vanity drawer. Worked beautifully. Thanks for this video. Will definitely be contacting you soon...after my eye surgery.
I would love to see the project.
@VolpeWoodworking thanks for the lesson. Not sure where you are located but I'm sure any craft store would carry them...I purchased scalpels, blades and a measured green craft cutting board in the dollarama in Canada. I've also purchased the mat along with a cutting wheel in "fabricvile"...I know I've also seen them in Michael's and Walmart...much easier to use than the safety blades. Hope this helps
I tried the #10 scalpel and #11 Xacto blades. For general use my preference is the safety razor blade.
Thanks for the informative video. I just purchased some veneer from you online and was wondering the best method for application. Most say “ contact cement” but thanks for warning about its use on raw wood veneer applications, as that’s what I ordered and was planning on using contact cement until I saw this video .
I have many vintage stereo pieces that are in need of exotic wood veneer treatment so I will be buying more from you as well.
As for veneering loudspeaker enclosures what glue would you recommend to best withstand the constant vibrations they will see in use?
I like Titebond II for most project. For large surfaces like a speaker enclosure a low nap paint roll is best to spread a even thin coat of adhesive. It makes a permanent bond so no worries about it vibrating off. If using the 'cauls and clamps' method it's best to have a extra set of hands around. Titebond is 'slicker than snot on a door knob'. Extra hands will keep the veneer in place while applying the clamping pressure. Titebond also can work well if using the 'iron on' method of bonding veneers. I have a link for it below. Tip: When planing the order of veneer placement. Think about the exposed on edge glue line. The first veneer you see is the last veneer placed. On dark veneers like the fumed Oak it won't show. Light woods can show a obvious glue line. The last veneer placed can cover most obvious glue lines.
Thank you for the time you took to make this video. The yellow titebond glue doesn't bleed through the very porous walnut burl?
Walnut burl is a very porous wood and very prone to bleed thru. A wash or 'seal' coat of a shellac on the surface will plug the pores and reduce the bleed thru. I did that step for years. After I switched to a two part 5 minute epoxy as my adhesive the bleed thru was reduced and the spots where it did bleed to the surface were nearly invisible under the top coat finish.
How do you trim the excess pieces of veneer once glued to the box? How do you flatten your burl veneer?
The small pieces of burl for my projects are flattened with just water. Then dried a few days between paper towels with weighted flat boards. To trim the excess off I find that cutting back to almost flush with a new safety razor blade is best. Then sand back to flush with sand paper on a flat board. Sanding flush removes any danger of the wood fibers taring loose at the corners. I re-glued torn corners from dozens of boxes before I figured out the cutting close then sanding flush saves time.
Great video
What is meant by RAW wood veneer?
The face and reverse sides are bare wood. Just like lumber but thinner.
You didn't veneer the inside. Will the box not warp over time?
Nico McMillan A ‘balance’ veneer is good insurance to reduce the chance of warping. The time to apply it would have been before the box was assembled. This box was purchased assembled. The boxes I show at the end all have ‘balance’ veneers since I made them from scratch.
@@tomvolpe7018 yeh I normally always balance it out on both sides. I was considering buying some premade boxes and veneering them on just the outside as some gifts for friends. Just unsure how long they would last.
