I have several sewing machine cabinets that need minor veneer patching. I bought some veneer from Rocklers and patched a small spot on a Singer cabinet. The problem I'm having is that the veneer is a lot thinner than the veneer on the cabinets, so it's not matching at all.
This is my first shot at repairing veneer, so obviously, it's not perfect. We couldn't figure out what wood it was. A friend said it was oak, but that guy at Rockler said Beech. I tried a golden oak stain and it's not a great match. (I'll work something out there to hide it.)
I bought some mahogany veneer from Rockler to repair a Pfaff 130 cabinet and some Singer cabinets I have. If the are not the right depth, it will really show on the other repairs as they are more up front and visible. I tried a google search, but am not sure what I'm looking for as far as the proper terms, etc.
Anyone have any experience with this and can help me find what I need for these repairs?
