Popular Post Frank Pellow Posted January 26, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 I discussed this project in the thread: I've now completed the first Double Dragon project (there will be more) and decided to post a photo of the completed effort here: This is a Fiona Kingdon pattern. The foreground material is thick (about 1 inch) Spalted Maple. The background is Zebra Wood vereer glued to thin Baltic Birch plywood. The whole thing was completed with three coats of a clear semi-gloss rattle-can finish.

JimErn Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 Really beautiful work, I love the spalted maple back ground really sets it off I like the idea of high dollar wood back ground as a veneer, I've been thinking along those lines myself. What glue did you use to adhere the veneer? Did you use paper backed veneer, or ...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What glue did you use to adhere the veneer? Did you use paper backed veneer, or ...? Thankyou Jim. I used Titebond 3 glue and glued the veneer to 3mm thick Baltic Birch plywood. The veneer came from a box of 'Domestic and Exotic Veneers' that I purchased from Lee Valley Tools. Here is a link the that item: https://www.leevalley.com/en-ca/shop/tools/supplies/inlay-and-veneering/58781-domestic-and-exotic-veneer-assortments The veneer collection is expensive ($55 Canadian) but there is a very diverse collection of woods there and, so far, I have always been able to find something that works (although this is the first time I have used such a veneer in a scrollsawing project).
