i think I can make seamless veneers... I think it can be done if not then I fail and try again later ....
seamless as per the meaning of seamless "no seams"
seamless as also no seams from the glueing of two pieces of wood that thin.
Tascarella did one with Ivory and Ebony or Black Veneers. I don't remember if it was recuts or not.
The SW does have a seam, but you have to look really hard to see it. It's about as good as you can get.
Below is one of mine. I posted this one because there are double whites. The lighter the color, the harder it is to have an invisible seam. I still wouldn't call them seamless. There is a seam there and if you look hard enough, you will see it.
The only way you are going to have completely seamless is the way Dennis does his or by doing recuts. You may get them perfect most of the time, but every once in a while one will sneak up on you. Nothing in this world is perfect.
Tony that is exceptional work,my hat's off sir!
I think I will stop posting now and make one first then discuss it.
I only say this as not to offend anyone for that is not my intentions.
I'll stop while Im ahead.
I just wanted to know if it was possible, and see if anyone else has done it..
when I'm able to work and not talk in theories I'll have something.
talking theoretically about something might bring people in that are offended by my thread.
I'll figure something out, try it, and show everyone what I can do.....
if I cann't do what I set out to do I'll also put the message out that I couldn't and failed.

I get it now. Thank you.
I am hijacking your thread Piercy. So thank you for letting me know what you mean by seamless.
I don't have any advice there but I have a question/challenge and was wondering if this could be done;
Since it seems that recuts allow for seamless accent lines (known as veneers), has anyone ever tried to splice different woods together in one channel? So right now most of what I see is a say an ebony point framed by a maple veneer then a blue veneer and then an orange veneer all running up the cue.
What if someone were to splice the orange and blue together in one channel? So that the veneer wasn't just one color but theoretically could be multiple colors running up the cue?
Does that make sense? If not then I can draw it?

...stacking pre-cut 90 degree laminates is the same end-product as re-cuts, it's just a different process. JMHO
You can't re-cut veneers this thin and precise. That is the major difference. (Thanks Troy for the photo)
