[QUOTE="El Sid, post: 918447, member: 18550"] Almost there..... Practicing on a piece of scrap wood, I worked in a technique for staining the veneer. I realised that I couldn?t stain directly because the different textures that needed to look the same would absorb the the stain differently. So I first did two layers of lacquer, then layers of stain until it was at the desired colour, then two layers lacquer. There was a slight botch in one place which has delayed the final layer of lacquer. But once that?s done all I need to do is reassemble!
