Weekend Veneering | Adrian Ferrazzutti

The class will be an action-packed dive into the world of Commercial Veneer.

Veneer allows for endless creative possibilities, and Adrian will lead with demonstrations followed by bench time for students to try various techniques.  This class will be about knife-cut parquetry techniques, creating patterns with lines and geometric shapes.  Demonstrations will include how to select, cut, and join veneers together. Also, ways to make patterns with veneer using different matching techniques like slip matching and book matching.  Other topics will cover edge treatments, string inlay and boarders along with pressing veneer.

The goal of the class is to have each student create one or more veneered panels of their design using various techniques to generate patterns.

Key Learning Points:

• • How to mix veneer and solid wood
  • Resawing veneer
  • Creating geometric designs with shop-sawn veneer
