Pbmaster11 Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 I'm planning on making a tansu piece for my father. I would like to build this out of MDF oak veneer. I have never done veneer strips (for the open ends).. Could I use a flush trim bit to remove the waste? Any tips, tricks, or advice would be great!

raruss1 Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 My initial thought is that oak is going to be prone to tear out and that lighter methods would be better like a block plane or chisel, just safer that way. But you and always glue up a test piece and see if it will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
