I decided to make a case for playing cards with this herringbone veneer. Here it is, above and below, at the end of the day, today.
I did a bit of filling and sanding, where there were gaps. Cutting 45° angles, or bevels, into the panels, was very tricky. If I could’ve done that better, I’d not have needed to do so much filling. I’ll try and do better if I do the same sort of thing again.
There’s an inner sleeve – the thinner, darker, smaller part – and the thicker outer case.
Adding the filler…
These leftovers might make an interesting box?
I’ll do more herringbone veneer soon. On a much larger scale; for guitars/drums. Meanwhile, this wee experimental project has been both frustrating and fun. And a very valuable learning experience.
