I took a dive into another unchartered territory (for me) of woodworking. Got me a bunch of burl veneer and am going to try and use it on a table top, 12"X40". I've never worked with veneer before and don't have a vacuum press either. I have done some reading and it seems I can pull it off using contact cement and some good planning.
I seek your opinions on the pros and cons of using contact cement, not that I have a choice (being without a vacuum press) but I would still like to educate myself. What kind of cement/glue works best if I have to apply a glossy top coat, such as polyurethane.
Any other methods besides vacuum press I can use to bookmatch and apply veneer to a substrate.
If you can provide links to on-line tutorials it will be great.
