Compound Veneering

Beginner

Veneer is typically pressed flat or on a single axis curve but what if you wanted to veneer a curved bullnosed table edge, or harder yet, a radiused OG profile— impossible? Not with Scott Grove as the instructor. A pioneer in compound veneering, Scott has veneered a female torso, a bowling ball, a human hand, and even a working light bulb. In this class, he will share his 35 years of veneering tips and tricks with this one-of-a-kind rare class.

For beginners and advanced woodworkers who want to push their limit in veneering, students will work on several compound curved forms and projects using a variety of techniques, from hand forming, vacuum bagging, and compression molds to veneering compound curves.

Key points:

  1. Conditioning veneer
  2. Form considerations
  3. Veneer forming techniques
  4. Creating compression molds
  5. Seaming techniques
  6. Aesthetic considerations
