This is for an administrative assistant in a local school and I have been wanting to use some of my veneers so this looked like a good project for that.  Madrone Burl on Maple, 12" x 3" by 7/8" thick, finished in Nitrocellulose lacquer. I didn't try to fill the pores - one coat of sealer, one coat of semi-gloss.

 

Front and outside profile designed in CorelDraw, exported to Fusion 360, engraved with 0.25" 60° Amana bit, profile cut with 0.25" Whiteside compression bit.  Back designed in Carveco and engraved with the same 60° bit.

 

Cut veneer to fit oversize Maple blank - 

 

Glued veneer with TB I and pressed in my veneer press - 

 

On the CNC -

I am very pleased at how clean this came out!  This was one pass on the CNC.

Enjoy!

Amazing piece of work.

Anyone ever mention that you do nice work? Looks awesome!

Thanks, Guys!  I don't think I posted it here, but I did a video on repurposing the old planer into a veneer press (below).
