Hey anyone out here? I'm a newbie to Western NC and recently got on this site. So let me throw out a question.  

I was told not to use contact cement when adhering Wood type veneer. Instead use an adhesive specifically for this type of vennering.

Any comments? 

Oh, maybe some help in finding places to buy decent hardwoods.

Depends on the size of your project. I've used regular old wood glue for small veneering projects many times.

With larger projects that are going into a vacuum bag or are complicated to get together and more time is needed there are specific veneering glues. Usually sold under cold press veneer glue names. There are many brands.

I've also used epoxy in some situations when I needed more time but didn't want to buy specific glue for a 1 off project.

Welcome Neal! I’m a couple hours East of you. 
I’ve only done hammer veneering, and used hide glue for that. I do understand that contact cement is NOT recommended.

Welcome, Neal! No help on the veneer question, but you are one of only 3 people I know that spell their name that way. The others are my dad, and my son (middle names). I'm a Tennesse boy by birth, but lived in Forest City, NC for a spell, 3 decades ago. How are things over on the steep side?
