<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 407037, member: 37&quot;]Quite the project but one worth doing.&nbsp; Don&#039;t recognize this as being from a top maker but does appear to be a quality piece.&nbsp; Of course, circa 1910.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>working with veneer is pretty tricky.&nbsp; When you see it raised like on top, it has expanded.&nbsp; Have had some luck in slicing out a strip and gluing the rest flat.&nbsp; A steel plate that you can stack weight on really helps in this process.&nbsp; Have heard of using lead shot in a bag for weighting veneers while gluing but have never tried it.&nbsp; As for missing veneer, you are going to need some quatersawn white oak.&nbsp; Most of what is on the market these days is red oak.&nbsp; I try to harvest veneers from other projects when I can. occasionally can harvest from the subject piece if there is an area where it can be taken without showing.&nbsp; For example, possibly a strip from the back of the top that would be covered by the mirror could work.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
