Paper Veneers

I was just reading these posts and was about to ask the same question and then I seen your post. I can't for the life of me understand how the thin paper veneers hide poor workmanship or prevent tear out. Sharp cutters and attention to detail is the trick for consistent good work, not paper veneers. The paper certainly doesn't hide obvious glue lines in the different colored veneers.

That is pretty much what I thought, Dick. Thanks.

Okay...I cannot even begin to tell you what those veneers have done for me!!! :embarrassed2: Man, I really need to get laid!! :eek: LMAO!!

On a more serious note...the fact that Dennis and I had a discussion about the new veneers means that I absolutely in awe of just how nice these have turned out! I knew they were gonna be great...but even these have exceeded my expectations!!

Thanks Scootr for sharing the pics...I had not seen any examples til now!! :thumbup:

LOL - Ross is right. That is my Haley and I'm pretty sure Ron does them differently than Dennis.

The Searing is still in the works.

There's no secret in paper veneers , they simply help hide mitre flaws and help to prevent tear out during maching. g]

I don't know how I ended up in this thread, but I don't understand this statement at all. Miter Flaws will be more apparant using Paper Veneers than without them. You've got .004'-.006" of paper there. If your miters aren't perfect, your paper will not line up. It will be way more apparent than if you just have wood veneers.

Most of my cues have paper veneers. I don't have glue lines and have sharp points with or without the papers.

Here's an example of one I'm working on with papers in only some of the positions:
