I am building a repro. of the Seaton tool chest and am trying to veneer the lid of the removable till. The top is 5/8 white pine about 11 by 34. The problem that I am having is as follows. I glued on two ovals with banding on the face side of the board and it started to cup slightly and there became a good bit of wind to it. I thought at this point that I should veneer the back side as well to equal things out. After doing this the board cupped significantly. I am using hot hide glue and home made veneers of mahogany. Not sure of the thickness of the veneer but its about 10 times that of store bought. Is there any chance of getting this flat or do I strip of the ovals and start again? Thanks for any help.
