Oh lord!
  Someone shoot me. I finished the first veneer sanding on the side but there is an issue. the reused veneer from the top which is a match is too dark! I cant figure it out. I tried matching it but nothing so far and unless the cabinet is medium briwn then it will not match. I think I am going to have to use wood bleach but i want to try and strip it first. 
I dont get it.... Why would it do that?

Call me confused  Icon_thumbdown Icon_rolleyes

There is a darn hurricane outside right now so that stinks too.....
