Oak Veneer

I just got a 30" round oak veneer table and the veneer is buckled/split in a
few spots and I want to redo the top. Would it be better to remove all the
old veneer before putting new on, or just go over the old veneer after
fixing the damaged spots.
Thanks Mike

Is it just small damage? If so, I've had good success just repairing
it.

You could do either, depending on the state of it. Repairing spots by
inlaying new veneer patches is a standard technique. A good antiques
restoration book should cover it - Bennett's is the best I know
