  This step-by-step, practical guide for the non-professional covers all areas of veneering: basic methods and techniques, preparing and laying veneers, handling and working veneers, fixing to the base, care and storage, dealing with defects, flattening buckles, fixing blisters and lifted edges, lengthening, and colouring. There are also instructions for creating special decorative effects, from the matching of patterns and cross banding to parquetry and marquetry. Colour photographs and line drawings illustrate the techniques.
