Either the “kitchen cupboard liner” stuff, or the “no slip” pads for under area rugs.

The downward pressure of your handing holds it in place; no need to clamp.

You are an excellent sawyer!!
Sawing a thin veneer like that requires lot’s of skill!!!

I can see you’re mastering that ryoba. How long is your saw?
Did you buy it after you read the post on my blog about saws?

Take care,
Luis

If you’re referring to the plywood panel, yes, I’ll be veneering the underside as well. :^)

Wow! You are much more patient than I am. :-)

I don’t have much experience with veneering. I have heard it recommended, though, that if you are veneering a substrate, you should veneer both sides to keep it balanced. That might be something to look into before you glue the lid together.

Keep it up… I can’t wait to see the finished box!

Looks great! It’s nice to see that you took up the challenge. I am in the process of similar challenges lately with my decision to step outside my comfort zone and take on more skill learning projects and techniques.
