Veneered Box Supplies

author-gravatar Sean Nov 10, 2016

This project is perfect for the scrap you have piled up in the corner of your shop. For this guild build I will be focusing on a walnut box with a walnut burl veneered lid. To begin, I will show you how to flatten the veneer, how to glue the veneer to the substrate, how to pore fill the veneer and how to finish both the lid and the box. It's going to be a fun project that you can batch out in a couple of weekends and sell at a craft show or give away as gifts. I will be releasing the videos on November 18th, 2016. Until then, check out the supplies below so you can have them ready for when the videos are released.

Supplies Used:

VENEER PACKAGE GIVEAWAY INFORMATION:

To help kick this guild build off, I'm giving away 2 veneer kits. Each kit will contain 2 veneer sheets (enough veneer for both sides of 1 lid) and a 5/8" Horton Brasses antique finish brass knob. I will be picking a winner on Sunday, November 13th at 8:00 p.m. EST. To enter, leave a comment below and Sunday, November 13th at 8:00 p.m. I will randomly pick 2 people to send a kit to. 

I hope to see you guys build a long on this one. It's a quick box to make and the veneer really makes it stand out. As always, if you have any questions/comments/concerns, just let me know.

Find a set that will fit the  lid (roughly 6" wide x 8" long oversize) and you will have plenty of veneer for a few boxes with several sheets left over.
