You have done a good job, always looks better when the veneer runs through with

 

the glove box lid, i found the cappings a lot easier than the dash to do...

 

Did you do the top strip edges of the cappings too? wonderd what you did on the curves? or did you just sand them back to wood and blend the veneer into it? (If that makes sense?)

also what about the edges of the door caps? veneer those little bits and again fine sand them in?

hope this makes sense? lol

 

ill order more veneer this week i guess its easier to know what to do as your doing it really.

 

yeah your right you defo have to cut the clove box door out and use the cut to cover the door to keep the grain matching.

all i did was sand them back and blend them in, as with the curved bits

 

they turned out good, used a sanding block and different grades of sand paper and a lot of patience..
