haps not so many are spoiled, but what are spoiled are 

 costly and most of this spoilage comes from sanding, 

 through the thin veneer. Then it is a case of patching 

 and a poor piece of goods, or planing the whole face 

 off and doing the job over. That is the reason I want 

 my faces at least a 24th-inch thick and don't care if they 

 are thicker. 



Of course 1 know that power feed sanders are good, 

 and that they can be adjusted to take the least possible 

 cut, but the man behind the sander is not always good, 

 and if he isn't he can raise the dickens with 24th-inch 

 faces, say nothing about thinner ones. Even when the 

 belt sander is used and the pressure put on by hand it 

 doesn't take much carelessness or absent-mindedness to 

 put a hole in a thin veneer, especially when the belt is 

 new. 



That applies to face veneers. When it comes to 

 crossing, the stuff now costs almost as much as — and in 

 some cases more than — good cabinet wood veneers did 

 three years ago, and the thinner it is the easier it breaks.
