Hello to all!
It's been a while since my last post, but unfortunately I had a stroke 2 weeks after. This has left me numb and stiff down my left side, which has put the brakes on my restoration work.
I mentioned before the wife had bought another sideboard and a bureau, which I was keen to get on with. However, I'm not able to go through the process again of stripping everything back to bare wood, and the wife's moaning she's sick of looking at them in that state. To be honest, the sideboard isn't oak, which was a mistake on my part.
I've come up with a plan...
I'm thinking of veneering them both. I reckon I could just about manage that.
What could go wrong?
Both items seem to be done with a varnish. My idea is to sand the surface to give a key and glue the veneer on?
Will it work as easy as that do you reckon?
Failing that, it's back to the charity shop with them.
Thanks.
Tom.
