Recently I had great success hide gluing a couple of 6" wide strips of curly maple veneer on maple plywood. However, since that worked so well on the paying project I decided to try doing it on a pine bottom for my sideboard that iam making. The pine is abou18" x 20" . I rooted around in the leftover veneer pile for something nice and tried to use some quilted saple. The darned stuff buckled in a couple spots. I laid on glue on the pine and both sides of the veneer then squeegeed it off with the hammer. Should I have wet the veneer first? I am wondering if the quilted grain had anything to do with the buckling? Any ideas ?
