<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 482831, member: 37"]From what I can see, the veneer is raised in multiple places throughout the top. Consequently, it will be very tedious to try and repair this. In general, what you need to do is slice each bubble, inject glue and weight to clamp. This usually involves removing a small sliver of wood to get it to lay flat, as the veneer has expanded. It might just be less work to replace the veneer on the entire top. You won't be able to get the original veneer off in a single sheet and re-use it. Even if you could, it will never lay flat again. A new sheet of quartersawn veneer can get expensive, as James suggested. </p><p><br /></p><p>In a lot of these cases, people often just replace the entire top with solid wood. It won't look the same as the original but is a lot easier to do, particularly if you have an old table top that can be cut to fit. This is problematic in this case since you have two pieces that you would want to match. Good luck in what ever course of action you decide.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
