Default Re: Truck based woody

My retired buddy will be leaving for an extended vacation soon. We looked at the ash veneers he had and certain factors didn't add up . He had a nice stack of premium birch veneers so we decided to go with them. After seeing the photo Kube posted today I was sure I would like the birch with the green painted sheet metal. I have a vacuum veneer press similar to his, but he's made his living with veneers and I have always worked with solid stock, so I wanted to use his expertise before he leaves. I pulled out all my inset panels after work today, leaving only skeletel remains. It looks pretty sad but I will post the Kube photo for inspiration. It's never fun to go backwards.....
