Vacuum pressing slab doors and drawer fronts.
Rift sawn white oak paper backed veneer pressed onto a core of half-inch plywood laminated with 1/8″ MDF both sides. The plywood reduces the weight and makes for better screw holding, while the MDF ensures a flat surface.
The veneer pieces are laid out and cut sequentially so when the cabinet is assembled the grain will flow uninterrupted across the front of the cabinet.
The vacuum bag and pump have proven to be very useful over the last couple of years. The CNC table makes for a nice flat surface for this process 😁
