Beautiful work. Thank you for posting it. The photos really help those of us trying to learn the proper techniques. I'm struggling with my first attempt to re-veneer a curved surface (veneer strips about 406 inches wide and maybe 2.5 feet long going horizontally across the front and side of a 41-280 cabinet). Matching the veneer has taken me forever (still not sure I have it), and I have yet to sort out the best way to laminate it to the body of the cabinet. Then matching toner, and more. So, seeing things like this work give me hope. Really beautiful work.
