Question
Forum Responses
From the original questioner: That is an excellent idea. I suppose I can trim to the template with an exacto knife in several passes and hope the burl does not break. From contributor F: Careful about stacking veneer when cutting with a knife or even a razor blade. Because of the double angle of the knife blade, you will get a much tighter fit by cutting from the back of the veneer. There is a new product on the market that was introduced at the show in Atlanta that could be of interest. Sunburst and Spider web veneer laid up on a 2 ply paper back. Pre sanded 2, 3 and 4' circles. Whittelsey in Miami can tell you more.
From contributor D: Try wetting or even dampening the edges to be cut with the exacto. This technique helps ensure a cleaner slice and works great for me. From the original questioner: I used contributor J's idea of a lexan template, contributor F's idea of one at a time and contributor D's idea of wetting the veneer. Worked great - thanks, guys. This is what this forum is all about to me. From contributor D: Another great idea that works is to use a circular razor to cut the damp veneer. It resembles a pizza cutter and can be found in most fabric/sewing shops. This, along with a straight edge, on dampened veneer, works flawlessly.
