Received in damaged condition.

When I received the package, it was damaged, and the contents, the Maple Burl were poorly packed in it. I had to return the item and asked for a refund. That was done.

First time

This is the first time I've tried to enhance two doors on a buffet with veneer. Slowly I'm learning the process on how to work with the wavy burl that has holes in dark areas which I assume were small knots?. Veneer Tamer sprayed on burl does weird things to burl, it might be good for straight grain veneer but not burl, at least on maple burl.

Maple burl veneer

I used it to add some visual interest to some of the trim on the Bookcase I am building for my daughter. The attached picture is just of the facing trim piece with the veneer installed. Once the Bookcase is complete the veneered piece will show 1/4" of the dark stained maple above and below the veneer. The piece will be installed horizontally at the top of the bookcase just below the top, with a 3/4" cove molding just above the veneer.

Beautiful burl veneer

Beautiful veneer and would rate a 5, however this veneers is a little brittle and has a fair amount of rippling & bubbling which is typical of Crotch and Stump veneer but is not mentioned in description.
