Veneer + tambour is way harder than anything I’ve done before – I had to reverse–engineer the process from artists who intentionally never show how they do it, make 200 plywood strips, invent my own razor-blade tool, and fix about 1,000 little screwups along the way.The twist? I finally cracked the mystery, built the nicest record cabinet I’ve ever made… and I refuse to sell it. It’s going to my daughter as a housewarming gift instead. 👇 More details, links, and gear below. 🧪 Tools & Materials Featured (Links may be affiliate links.
