Not really sure what type of venner I'll be using. I bought a pile of various lots from our local Rockler. The veneer is not paper backed, and I'll be using glue to bond the MDF substrate. I'm really concerned about getting a nice joint, so that rules out anything but the flattest (non-wavey) veneer. I assume the best way is to make sure the pieces I'm butting have a perfectly straight edge and then roll the seam with a wooden roller.
Any hints you can offer will be appreciated.....Colin
