Curtis: Something you may want to consider. I was at the local plywood/lumber supplier recently and they had 4' x 8' hardwood veneer sheets available in many different species. Search on-line for more info. This may be an easier way to go.

Since retirement Marie and I are spending more time in the camper and the dark paneling is closing in on us. We like the light tan knotty pine type paneling that we see in the Thompson photos linked on Toms page. It looks like something I may want to try. I have to ask you all if my plan is going to work. First of all my skills are geared more towards mechanical work but my father was a carpenter and home builder so I have taken on several tasks of the same (in a conventional home) with acceptable results. I envision taking off panels one at a time and using them as patterns, cut the new panel to shape and reinstall. Cabinet doors can be removed and rebuilt with the new panels. I am assuming that the front panels will round out to contour without much trouble. What type of fasteners will I need? Does this sound like a doable plan? Thanks
