Veneer Me Crazy Live Intro to veneer

July 5, 2020, Introduction to Veneer. This video is the first live demonstration of my Veneer Me Crazy! Series, scheduled for the first Sunday of every month at 12:00 noon EST. Sign up at imaginewoodwor... and announcements will go on my news letter www.imaginegro... . In this class, I share a brief story about meeting Wendell Castle and seeing highly figured veneer for the first time which changed my life; explain the history of veneer and the bad rap; how it’s made; then show a variety of projects using veneer including architectural elements, curved lamination, compound veneering, etc. Q&A is included, with a trick and tip, too.
If you’re new to veneer or want to learn more about it, these classes are for you. Sign up for my newsletter at www.ImagineGrove.com and you’ll receive information on how to register.

I'm glad that you will have these available for streaming because it's hard for me to schedule for the live events

[@imaginegrove]

I really owe it all to you. Many thanks and hope all is well.

[@JackbenchWoodworking]

Thanks so much for doing these veneer videos, Scott! I'm really looking forward to the more advanced sessions.

[@imaginegrove]

More to come!

[@fisherman070707]

Thank you for sharing I missed this one but I will be sure to tune in to future episodes

[@imaginegrove]

No worries, see you next month.

@25:16 The veneer labels I have seen, top left number is the log number, does not mean much, top right number is the bundle number, looks like 19. Bottom left is 24 slices, then 300 is length in centimeters, next number 13 is width in centimeter and last number is total area in square meters. The veneer industry is quite metric. As you know 1/42" is 0.6mm for the standard thickness nowadays.

good to know, thanks

Hi Scott, The universe is expanding. Amazing possibilities. My veneering has been two dimensional til now, but I would love to venture out of my depth! Go bills! (Midland, Ontario)

Go for it. yes - Josh and Diggs

[@BobAmarant]

Wow Scott! Thanks for starting this series! Looking forward to the rest of them!

[@imaginegrove]

Glad you like them!

[@ApexWoodworks]

Great video... but the audio volume is too low!

[@imaginegrove]

good to know, I'll increase it for the next one

Hello Scott,
Regarding your ImagineGrove lightbulb logo that I saw inlaid into the corner of the chessboard, did you send your logo design out to a company to make them for you (maybe in groups of 100) Or did you hand cut or scrollsaw all the veneered pieces into a marquetry packet and inlay that into the chessboard veneer? I have a logo of my own that is about 1” x 2” and the pieces are pretty small to do by hand. If you farm your logo out can you tell me who they are?
Thanks,
Rick W in Santa Rosa-Calif

You could hand cut very small pieces using a double bevel cut method. I rub a little PVA glue into the grain first. OR you can laser cut them. easy peezy either way.
