Making some legs and covering the glue joint with veneer. I hate using a backer board to put it on to run it through. How thin do you think someone can go not using a backer board before the planer will chew it up?
I plan to cut two pieces of veneer on my band saw from each 3/4" thick board. I tried gluing them on the leg with the rough side out then milling them and this worked. Just thought the clamps would do a better job of holding the veneer on during glue up if the rough side was smoothed out as much as I could before glue up.
Thanks.
