Well since I don't know where others are at or how common bake-ins actually are... (In the cabinet school I was in I saw mostly just a final edge-banding on the substrate itself).<BR/>Plywood is composed of cross-banded veneers, that is to say one layer the grain runs left to right, the next layer would be up and down, and so forth. This means that at any edge (cut parallel or perpendicular to the grain) is about 50% long Grain and 50% end grain. End grain = little adhesive strength of course.<BR/>SO one glues a strip of solid wood, in this case poplar because it will not be seen, to the edge of the plywood giving you about 50% long grain. Now, one might say hey that joint is still weak! Yes, theoretically it is. This is where the "in" of "bake-in" comes... in. So the solid strip is joined to the plywood, veneer is then adhered over the plywood AND the solid strip. this "traps" or "sandwiches" the solid strip in as it is overlaid with all long grain surface. Thus the edge is made up of solid wood and one can pretty much work it as such YAY!<BR/>This would be easier with illustration heh.Nicholas Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17007087871945089139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934391012680836729.post-66065901794044640012009-01-19T22:30:00.000-06:002009-01-19T22:30:00.000-06:00haha hey, it never hurts to hear what someone else...haha hey, it never hurts to hear what someone else has to say about veneering! <BR/><BR/>Nope i wasn't a student. i just read a lot and studied pictures...and bugged ian and jacques on techniques =)Nick Brygidyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16106095548772647316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934391012680836729.post-73338758825621607882009-01-19T21:13:00.000-06:002009-01-19T21:13:00.000-06:00Ha are you serious?

But my disaster really turned me off to cutting my own veneer...but working with that commercial garbage isn't any better! <BR/><BR/>Bandsaws are so damn finicky! <BR/><BR/>I agree with the whole grain graphics thing, it breaks my heart when i see a pile of odd shaped triangular pieces of wood in the shop, but then again it is worth having legs with perfectly straight grain.<BR/><BR/>Can't wait to read your next entry!Nick Brygidyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16106095548772647316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934391012680836729.post-79880763325688625912009-01-17T23:46:00.000-06:002009-01-17T23:46:00.000-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Nick Brygidyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16106095548772647316noreply@blogger.com
