Part 1: For any of you, in the North Carolina area, interested in
veneer, here's some veneer in your area:

Part 2: The pics in the link give a clue as how to assemble veneer
work, for a varied configuration. I would have never thought to
assemble veneer, by taping the pieces together first, to help
configure the overall pattern. I'm sure there is more to the process,
than what I've gleened, but I found this taping clue interesting/
helpful, in my understanding the assembly process. I don't do much
veneer work, but I'll remember this technique.

This is pretty much the standard way to do it. Several places sell
perforated paper tape with a water activated gum (or starch)
adhesive. You align the pieces of veneer, tape them together, then
glue the design in place. When the glue has set up, you can either re-
wet the tape and pull it off, or sand it off.
Add the step of claming the ever loving bejebus out of the piece also.

It is a process where you get back to nature and use clams to do the
clamping, not politically correct but I'm not that kind of guy anyway. ;!)
In case you were serious, ;~) you want to clamp every square inch of the
veneer since it does not have any rigidity.

It helps to clamp a good flat piece of plywood on each side or the
workpiece, to lessen the number of clamps while spreading out the pressure.
It also is good to use a thin styrofoam like fanfold insulation to put
pressure on even when the veneer is not all the exact same thickness
