Learn to make and work with wood veneer that is more versatile than the typical veneer you can buy ready-made.

Through discussion and demonstration, master furniture maker Aaron Levine will explain the benefits and challenges of working with veneer custom-cut on a band saw. Topics to be covered:

• Why you might want to use veneer and the design possibilities it offers.
• How to select wood for veneering.
  
• How to adjust BARN's 36-inch bandsaw (which Levine used to own) and use a jig to ensure uniform veneer slices about 1/8 inch thick.
  
• How to sand, arrange, and glue the veneer.
  

There is no added materials fee for this class.

Instructor: Aaron Levine is a Bainbridge Island furniture maker whose museum-quality pieces often feature surfaces covered with intricate, Escheresque marquetry. He always custom-cuts the veneers.
