Re: [VAL] veneers

[schuetzen - RKBA! <chasm@xxxxxxxxx>]

yeah but, where do you get that beautiful flame grain mahogany which was in the
'66-'68 trailers??

actually, using MDF for your room dividers, etc, you can easily apply a veneer
which will last as long as you will or will own the trailer.  Don't be
discouraged by this member's experiences.  I have done a lot of veneering and
have had little problem with it.  after all, the original panels were plywood
and plywood is nothing but a series of crossgrained veneeers.

just get a furniture book from Woodcraft which tells you how to do this,
practice with a couple of small projects, and then take on larger panels as you
gain confidence.  practice and the right tools will get you there.  

Again, you cannot buy furniture grade plywood with the veneers used in certain
periods of trailers.  if you can get it at all, it will be in very thin sheets
of veneer.
