<p>[QUOTE="Francisco G Kempton, post: 4308222, member: 22714"]I was reading a book on Antique furniture, and it appears to be a book is oriented toward a better understanding of traditional Joinery and cabinet making production A book by V.J taylor. In the book it states that prior to 1820 the veener was cut in much thicker slices of no less than 5mm. Due to using a handsaw as in picture. The cabinet maker could plane the veneer thinner using a scrub and toothing planes as desired but the book suggests that veener that is greater than 3mm thick dates from 1600 to 1830. The veneer on the Chest does look quite thick. At first glance i would have thought early victorian.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]349978[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]349979[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
