In Response To: Material: Veneer accent strip - application questions (Patsy)

How thick is your veneer? I used 1mm Mahogany (don't know what type) and had no problems of colour change. Most of the sanding was done once the veneer was glued down. Also remember once epoxyed, any slight colour change may even out since the veneer darkens. Glue up a test peice, sand and epoxy to see how your particular wood changes.

A page on how I did mine is below.
