Thanks, all.  I’m part way done with the sample assembly (roughly 8” x 11”) and will post an update when it’s done.  As I work out the remainder of the steps I’ll be considering:
  • How well the veneer tape holds everything together after the blue tape is removed. 
  • Once glued to a substrate and the veneer tape removed, how well does it hold up to sanding.  Different veneer hardnesses may dictate hand sanding. 
  • Is there any color bleeding due to sanding or wipe down with solvents.  The white obeche has open grain and may trap the sanding dust.  
  • How it looks a with finish.
