If you veneer the original plywood (before you started the process) with a very different looking wood. Maybe a brightly coloured stained veneer or brightly coloured plastic, or even if you started by glueing two pieces of plywood together with a coloured resin. Then you'd end up with a thin line of colour that would add a lot to the finished pattern. I actually really liked it before you veneered it. Those little squares added a nice little detail around the edges.

When gluing on the veneer, lay down several thin strips of wood across the substrate and put the veneer on top of the strips. Pull the strips out one at a time and allow the veneer to attach to the substrate a little at a time. That way you won't position the veneer in the wrong place. Once the two pieces touch, they are not coming apart. Use a j-roller instead of a piece of wood to finish the adhesion. This is pretty much the same as attaching plastic laminate like Formica. I once positioned a large piece of plastic laminate incorrectly and had to remove it. I wound up using Autozone's brake cleaner to spray between the layers. It dissolved the contact cement immediately and I was able to clean it up and re-glue it. It was simply amazing. I haven't tried it with wood veneer and I hope I will never have to.
@chichidouglas5078 2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the info. I've had the same thing happen but it wasn't a big piece so I just made another one. But I always have brake cleaner for mechanic work and that would have been faster and no wasted material. I haven't made that mistake since but it's still good to know

@@wholegrain27 I had to finish a kitchen & bathroom remodel that someone else started and got fired halfway through. Nobody lived there and it sat through the winter with the heaters turned off and the countertops had bubbled up In several places. I didn't know how to fix it because I'd only used the prefabed countertop pieces. But I had used the pre-fab end caps that have dried glue on the back that you stick on using a clothing iron. So I used an iron with a damp hand towel under it. It took a while but it worked and I also had to put weights on it right after I rolled it because it would start popping up after a couple minutes. So heat does reactivate it but I've never tried to reposition a whole piece before.

Somebody has probably already mentioned this, but if not I'll give it a go. That plywood you made (the patterned plywood) wood (see what I did there?) look amazing as a tabletop in its own right. Just clamp all of the strips together and plane/sand them level and clean and arrange the patterns you want on a tabletop. Then flow some Envirotex/Epoxy over it to seal it up, protect it, and give it depth. I think that would look amazing! You could also ebonize it when using wood with higher tannin content, or do some selective staining on different pieces to create further pattern differentiation. Love what you created by the way! It's definitely amazing looking!

I have tried the plywood blades that do not have carbide tips on them, but they dull fast and then burn. What works best for me is a 7-1/4" 24 tooth carbide blade that is about 1/16" wide and a zero clearance insert. It cuts great and usually does not leave any fuzz like you are seeing. The down side is you can't cut more than about 2 inches deep and a SawStop tablesaw will not work with anything smaller than 10" unless it's a Dado blade. Otherwise this is my go to tablesaw blade.

I strongly recommend that you familiarize yourself with a quilting pattern called "bargello." I'm sure you can replicate it with this technique, and it would look gorgeous.
