Nice job of matching the grain up. What veneer (type/supplier) did you use? Looks like contact adhesive with the spacer slats.
Thanks!
the veneer is a sheet 4x10 that I bought from the Woodsource in Manotick, near Ottawa. I think the owner ordered it from Montreal. I think it's a ten mill paper back.
Yes, I used liquid contact cement. I would not use it again. I would use the gel contact. The roller time is very limited.
I used the countertop roller to press everything. Being careful on the edge. I don't know why they don't recommend the roller to press. It works very well!
Over lapping 1/8 would've been enough. I did a 1/4. You just need to be very careful when you place your veneer on top. Verifie that are right on where you are supposed to be. No mistakes allowed!
I used my router to trim the excess...
Sorry!Gorgeous! The pride of ownership must be off the charts. They look awesome! Must be so rewarding putting on that oil and see them come to life.
How many coats did you use and care to take a picture of that Danish oil?
Here is the Danish Oil pic!

Thank you for the pic of the oil and sharing your takeaways from the veneering process with us.
Looking at your wood work and room renovation I can tell you are a handy man and I bet the ladies go all woop woop when they see you in action, hahaha.
Anyone see the irony of a Nowegian asking a Canadian about Danish oil ?
Lovely work on your boxes and your room Challenger.
Hahahahaha, sort of did when I asked it, LOL. I thought he was a Belgian refugee in Canada though, LOL.
My defense
It was not all that bad asking him
It's AS bad as asking a Pole or a Czech if they like German sausage ( almost )

I'm happily married so not too much traffic in my basement!! LOL!
Instead!! They are indeed when I'm in uniform!!...
Thank You Jo!
All together it took me a little bit more than a year to finish but I had my basement in between and of course work. If you work on it every day, I don't know! Maybe 2! It's a lot of work.

LOL!!
Working as a system admin for the NSA. No seriously, it was a lucky hit. Used 'refugee' in an attempt at being funny. Good thing you took it well, need to watch my fingers.
