Draw Leaf Table



In this project the oak veneer on this table top had become so compromised that large areas were missing, and all of it was becoming unglued. Repairing the damage was not an option, it was necessary to remove the remaining veneer. New English oak veneer pieces were then cut and laid out to match the original pattern, before being re glued to the substrate wood. Color matching the stain and finish to the original (base) was the final step. One resource for veneer sheets and strips that I use is Woodcraft at www.woodcraft.com
