[Crist Rigotti]

Here are a few pictures of the patch I applied to the small missing piece of veneer.  

Fred Taylor gave me a piece of veneer that was a pretty good match to use.  Thanks Fred.  The first thing I did was to bevel all the edges of the existing veneer.  I then cleaned out the hole and applied a few drops of water to the area.  I figured that it would help the glue/new veneer adhere to the old cabinet.  I then wet the patch piece of veneer and applied some wood glue to the hole.  After carefully matching the grain the best I could, I clamped it using some wax paper, backing blocks, and a clamp.  Tomorrow we will find out how well it worked.  Remember that this patch is only about 1/2 square or less so I thought it would be a good one to cut my teeth on.
