As for the corners, since I knew I was covering the joints anyway, I
used simple butt joints reinforced with countersunk screws. I filled
over the screw heads, and sanded everything out smooth before applying
the veneer. Semed to work fine..

They're both good looking pieces of work! Need to make another one with a
real wood top and get Kate to carve it for you.

Did you use a veneer press?




Haven't got a veneer press yet, though it's on my wish list. I used the
Titebond cold press veneer glue, and clamped between boards.

That's a good idea about getting Kate to carve me a top. Maybe I can get
some of her work while she's still cheap, before she gets all
rich-and-famous-snooty-artist on us. :-)
