The stanchion tops get their veneer.

24 pieces of veneer measured, cut, glued, clamped, dried, trimmed and sanded.

Everything that is not walnut is brushed with flat black latex paint. This includes the lower vent frame shown at bottom right.

I'm taking this last opportunity to sand around the stanchion holes while the access is still easy.

Thanks everyone for the comments!

I had to get in one last "glue drying" photo. The veneer on the bottom of the stanchions marks the end of the veneer work.

Pulled the chrome pieces off and slapped on a thick coat of lacquer sanding sealer. The sealer raises the grain to make sanding easier. It saturates the wood so that final lacquer coats go on evenly and also highlights areas that need work like my errant glue marks. For me, the best part of the sealer is that it simulates what the final wood color and grain pattern will look like.

More variations coming soon. The final decision on what decorative panel I'll be using will probably be made on Sept 19th. LOL

Thanks for looking!
