Hi all
I'm getting close to the end of my current project and am starting to turn my mind to my next major job - a dining table and matching chairs.
For the chairs, I'm keen to go for a more casual setting, not the high back style that's so common these days. I'm also looking for something with relatively simple joinery.
I quite like this kind of thing, with curved plywood for the back and seat. But I don't want to paint it, I'd rather have natural timber finish.
I haven't done it, but I think it would be relatively easy to bend plywood in a vacuum bag to get the right shape (once I have an appropriate form). But I am thinking of using a walnut/blackwood veneer over the plywood. How do I avoid having the plywood showing at the edges? Most plywood is pine or birch so it is pale in colour and will not look good (IMHO) next to the walnut/Blackwood veneer.
One option I thought of would be to form the back with ply. Then veneer the edges and flush trim it to the plywood. Then veneer the main faces.
Any better ideas?
