January 23, 20197 yr Please see the below where I have unstainable squigles in the raised panel. Probably glue line or squeeze out. Do I dare to strip and sand out risking cutting thru the veneer? Maybe a brown and black sharpe? Need your help!
January 23, 20197 yr That is the veneer stitching showing, I have no solution. Nice color. Herb Edited January 23, 20197 yr by Dadio

January 23, 20197 yr Does any one but you see it, or comment on it? I have no solution, but if it were me I would experiment on an obscure place with those stain felt pens to see if there was a way to break up the pattern so it would be less noticeable. I have seen the painters draw in grain on wood such that it looked real. It will be a time consuming job though. Are these new doors or are you refinishing old doors?

January 23, 20197 yr Don't believe I ever seen a zigzag line like that before. Its sure not glue ease out. 50 years from now you won't even think about any more...
January 23, 20197 yr Call in my ignorance How do you do a raised panel with veneer? All I have done and seen are solid wood or plastic. If this is wood can sand , if not maybe make a matching strip (no squiggle) on both sides of the door to cover it
January 24, 20197 yr Michael, not being a smart arse, but I like it, I love inconsistencies in work, I'd keep it. Seriously. I would not try to fix it even if I wanted too.

January 24, 20197 yr Author OK thanks for all your replies. I will leave it along and make it a feature to be enjoyed or ignored. Thanks all.

January 26, 20197 yr Since we cannot tell how noticeable it is, or which panel it is on; please let us know if anyone ever asks about it. Could the door be swapped with another in the house that would be in a less noticeable spot?
January 26, 20197 yr Was the veneering done with a vacuum press and heat ? Only way to veneer a raised panel that I know of. If so the issue is the stitching is a hot melt glue process and then heating it again with more glue probably made it bleed through the veneer. I would consider placing a coat of finish on then see if glazing will blend it in more if you want. Roly
