Edge detail

Happy New Year

The attached photo was provided by the designer...I’m trying to figure out the best way to edgeband the chamfered edge.
I’ve done a sample with a caul, paper backed veneer and titebond 2 with decent results. Just feel like there’s gotta be a better way. Any thoughts?

It depends. Are you veneering your own faces? If so, the way I have done it in the past is to have a 3/4" piece of solid on the top edge, veneer it, cut the chamfer and finally band the edges to hide the end grain solid. Otherwise, I think you are pretty much on the right track.

Thanks for the reply ex-pat. I’m not veneering my own panels...Using veneer plywood, edgebanding 3 sides on the bander then cutting chamfer.
I really don’t like contact cement but may make a sample using it. Clamping with the caul is a pain in the butt

Jerry Peifer:

You don't state how many lineal feet of this you need to do. If it were me, I would edgeband all four sides on the bander, cut the chamfer, take some iron-on edgebanding and iron it to the chamfer, create a flush cutting jig for the table saw to cut the excess banding off of the chamfer that meets the edge, use an edging flush cut tool or a flush cut router setup to cut excess banding off of the chamfer that meets the face. Sand flush, and you are done.

For pre-veneered material, you could cut a rabbet into the material, leaving about 1/16" of the face, glue a solid piece into the rabbet, edgeband and then chamfer. That is a lot of glueup, though, and the core material that would show on the short edge may not be acceptable to the designer.

For what its worth.

Sorry, I missed the caul part in the original post. I think Tony's method is about as good as it gets. If iron on edge tape isn't available, brush on some yellow glue on the back of your veneer, let it tack up and then iron it on. I would avoid contact cement. I really don't think it would stand up to the stresses involved seeing as how it is a finger pull. As much of a pain it is going to be to do it once, doing again after it is installed will be worse.

Footage definitely an issue but my tact would be to scrap banding the bevel. Apply a wide enough solid wood edge to the ply, cut to size. Band the three square edges in the bander, and rip the bevel on the saw on the solid wood edge and be done.

I don’t know the exact footage but it’s a large house with this finger pull detail everywhere.... so it’s quite a bit.

If you zoom in on the photo, it’s pretty clear that there’s no seam where the chamfer meets the flat spot so i don t think any of the solid wood ideas work. It definitely looks like one continuous piece of veneer...
Really appreciate all the input

I don't know the minimum order but it looks similar to this company, maybe buy lengths and then cut and edge.

Alan:

Interesting looking product. Have you used this before? I would be curious how it works on a veneered door if the grain needs to run perpendicular to the postformed edge.

Tony,
I haven't used the company but the picture is obviously a profile wrap.

The order form allows for grain either direction and warranty the product.

They only offer engineered wood so there may not be the stresses in the wrap there would be with a a flitch from a log.

I would (and have) tell the designer this is a horrible idea and that any edgebanded edge used as a handle, especially in a kitchen will fail in fairly short order...
Yeah I know, they're designers and they don't really care about longevity, just how it looks immediately after the job is completed for their photo shoot.
I hate this "new" trend of non-handles returning! Same with gold plumbing fixtures! Really?!?

I would over cut the chamfered top edge until it meets the face. Then calculate the thickness of the veneer (approx 1/4" to 3/8" judging from the photo) that will give you just enough room to cut the narrow top edge so it's almost flush with the drawer face veneer. Glue on this thick veneer and then edgeband the sides I would cut the thin narrow 90 degree top cut last after you veneer the sides.

We would do it the way Ex-Pat first suggested. The only exception to Ex-Pats way, we would probably use solid wood on all of our edges and let the end grain show on the top, wider band. We normally edge our veneer doors and drawers with 5mm solid wood. We would veneer over made up blanks for doors and drawers. You can control the look. If you want to be a custom shop, do custom work.

I would totally agree that the method Paul Miller outlines is one way to get the seamless approach and have solid wood for the pull, and this is the way I would approach it if the money was there, but not everyone has the knowledge, skill set, or tooling setup for veneering.

Back before the advent of commonly available vacuum press setups, when veneering was done either with a hot press or a veneer hammer, a lot of shops backed away from veneer work, or used contact cement for veneering, with disaterous results.

Many of the responses here are taking into account the original posters description of using pre-veneered sheet goods, and trying to put forth ideas that would achieve the desired result within those limitations.

In the past, I have rabbeted a lot of pre-veneered pieces, leaving 1/16" of the face, and gluing a block of solid wood in place to accommodate the shaping that required solid wood to be there, and edgeband the rest. It was somewhat labor intensive, but did not require a hot veneer press, so my employers at the time thought it was a good idea, as it also allowed grain matching the face panels without having a piece of solid wood breaking up the flow of the grain.

It can be done differently now that vacuum presses are available and fairly inexpensive, but the work would still be labor intensive.

That edge detail will cost a lot of money, no matter how it is approached. I hope that the original poster has enough in the budget to make money on the job.

Good luck.
TonyF

    WOODWEB's forums are a highly regarded resource for professional woodworkers. Messages and responses that are crafted in a professional and civil manner strengthen this resource. Messages that do not reflect a professional tone reduce the value of our forums.

    Messages are inappropriate when their content: is deemed libelous in nature or is based on rumor, fails to meet basic standards of decorum, contains blatant advertising or inappropriate emphasis on self promotion (return to top).

    Libel:   Posts which defame an individual or organization, or employ a tone which can be viewed as malicious in nature. Words, pictures, or cartoons which expose a person or organization to public hatred, shame, disgrace, or ridicule, or induce an ill opinion of a person or organization, are libelous.

    Improper Decorum:   Posts which are profane, inciting, disrespectful or uncivil in tone, or maliciously worded. This also includes the venting of unsubstantiated opinions. Such messages do little to illuminate a given topic, and often have the opposite effect. Constructive criticism is acceptable (return to top).

    Advertising:   The purpose of WOODWEB Forums is to provide answers, not an advertising venue. Companies participating in a Forum discussion should provide specific answers to posted questions. WOODWEB suggests that businesses include an appropriately crafted signature in order to identify their company. A well meaning post that seems to be on-topic but contains a product reference may do your business more harm than good in the Forum environment. Forum users may perceive your references to specific products as unsolicited advertising (spam) and consciously avoid your web site or services. A well-crafted signature is an appropriate way to advertise your services that will not offend potential customers. Signatures should be limited to 4-6 lines, and may contain information that identifies the type of business you're in, your URL and email address (return to top).

    Repeated Forum Abuse: Forum participants who repeatedly fail to follow WOODWEB's Forum Guidelines may encounter difficulty when attempting to post messages.

    There are often situations when the original message asks for opinions: "What is the best widget for my type of shop?". To a certain extent, the person posting the message is responsible for including specific questions within the message. An open ended question (like the one above) invites responses that may read as sales pitches. WOODWEB suggests that companies responding to such a question provide detailed and substantive replies rather than responses that read as a one-sided product promotion. It has been WOODWEB's experience that substantive responses are held in higher regard by our readers (return to top).
