Here is the results of my inexpensive veneering setup. This was done vaccum style. I took some small pieces of a quilted bubinga veneer about 5"x10" and using titebond yellow glue and a substrate of maple scrap I had lying around from making the headboard. I set about veneering. the first images shows the setup with a pine board but I decided to use maple later. in the image are front and back veneers (I have ALOT of this quilted bubinga veneer ) The next photo is of the board befor I trimmed it down (it was a test I didn't bother to cut the board close to the veneer) then the board after I trimmed it. No gaps, no loose spots, nice and flat and evenly glued. and I did it for 22.95$ US.
