Veneering of Large Surfaces Both Curved & Flat with Paul Schurch October 2-3, 2021

Larger veneer panels with decorative veneer or marquetry embellishments have always been a challenging undertaking for both the experienced and novice woodworker. Paul will explore the ways to create and handle big veneer skins. Sometimes these large veneer pieces can exceed the size of one’s scroll saw, straight edges, cutting mats, or even a veneer press. Paul will demonstrate how to apply big size veneer onto flat or curved surfaces successfully. The techniques each student will learn can be applied onto any veneered cabinet or furniture project and will open up a whole new way of thinking and working big. Students will participate in creating one large project panel, with decorative veneering and some marquetry, and then glue it onto a core. This panel could be used for a tabletop, cabinet front, or curved artwork project that could be displayed on a wall. This will be a great opportunity to see and learn how Paul does this innovative, and unusual type of work.
