Hawaiian Monkey Pod Veneer Molding / Why Not Plywood?

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Hi Everyone, My next project will be a set of bedside tables. Just like all projects there’s some behind-the-scenes design work and I thought I’d share some of my thought process. thanks for watching, Jon

I am interested in seeing a Jon Peters interpretation of cornhole boards. 😊

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Been planning to make a set for about 10 years 😂

[@MCsCreations]

Excellent tips, Jon! Thanks a bunch! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Can't wait to see how this one comes out. Never heard of Monkey Pod wood so this should be interesting. Thanks for the look at the thought process. Great content as always.

Thanks Mark

Cool start to the new project. Hearne Hardwood in Oxford PA has Monkey Pol lumber. I'm sure it's not cheap.

It would take this kind of overview to get me comfortable working in laminates, so it's much appreciated. One obvious limitation for me is the lack of a larger flat work surface. I wonder how common this issue might be for some of us.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Jack! Yes I always use a piece of 4 x 8 plywood to help with the layout

[@andrewbrown8148]

That's a cool looking pattern on that veneer. I think I've mostly seen species like Poplar used as a secondary wood, as opposed to Mahogany. Whatever works, right? 😀 Can't wait to see this video and the finished product.

Thanks, yeah just had this board hanging around and figured I’d use it.

Thanks

The project recap at the end brought back some good memories of some really cool builds. On a side note you're lookin like a stud Bud!!! No flanel for first 4 mins. Then I looked closer & realized you were wearing Michael's t-shirt!!!! Oh I freakin kill myself. Hoping all is well Bud, Dirty Jersey out!!!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

😂 thanks Mike, Michael’s shirt 😂🤦‍♂️

Some Australian acacia timbers might look similar to monkey pod - not sure if this is readily available where you are

[@stevengreen4593]

Beautiful veneer! Are you still planning on building a sauna, with poplar?

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Yes, just taking some time… making the framing with 24 mil Baltic birch plywood and I’m picking it up this week.

[@danyodice1048]

Cool idea Jon. What kind of plywood are you using for the base cabinet and is it cabinet quality so veneer adherence is better? Thanks...🤘🤘🤘

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Dany, this is Garnica Plywood… From Spain very good quality truth three-quarter inch

[@danyodice1048]

@@JonPetersArtHome it looks good by itself. Thanks Jon.

[@philshock3805]

I'm sure I'm missing something but why not just veneer the plywood end grain on the front edge? Why the need for the solid wood lamentation? Edge treatment maybe?

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Then you would need to cut the miters with a razor knife and attach with glue… that would be difficult.

[@williamellis8993]

Was that straight veneer or did it have a PSA backing? Bill

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Hi Bill, paper back, I used contact cement

True craftsmen don’t make everything perfectly. True craftsmen develop strategies to fix stuff so it looks perfect, after they make the inevitable mistake or two.
