Alright, I received the zebra-wood veneer a couple days ago, managed to get it cut.installed it yesterday, turned out pretty good.

I spent the week with grain filler, and sanding sealer, then the zebra-wood veneer, today I sprayed 2 coats of Mohawk ultra flo clear Lacquer. Tomorrow a little light sanding, then 2 more coats of lacquer. Then see where I stand. heres a picture of one side, got too dark to do the other side.
