I'm generally not much of a veneer user, but I was at an estate sale today, and managed to score some amazing veneers.
The previous owner was obviously very into marquetry and inlay work, and had accumulated an astonishing collection of veneers of nearly every species you can imagine, and had apparently kept every scrap of every piece of veneer he had ever cut.
Anyway, I ended up with probably 200-300 square feet (or more) of premium veneer. Burls, exotics, domestics, figured, plain, dark, light. Big, medium, and small pieces, and lots of little scraps and trimmings. Truly amazing material. I will basically never have to buy veneer again in my life.
Not many matching pieces, and some of it is scraps of less than a square foot, but there are a large number of 2-3 square foot sheets, and a few bookmatched sets and sequential stacks. I pretty much have one sheet of every species, and a few small stacks of the same kind.
I got home and realized, I don't even know where to begin!
So what the heck do I do with this? Help me veneer users
