A friend would like me to make him a humidor. I've made these before so the box construction is not an issue. HOWEVER, he wants the exterior to be blue! I tried playing around with blue dyes but am not happy with the results. I purchased some blue veneer from Constantine's and glued some on a scrap piece of wood and it looks pretty good. Now...how do I build a box with it? Anyone have any good references (books, magazine articles, etc) that would be a good starting point to learn how to veneer surfaces that join at 90 degrees? Thanks

Why veneer?

Easier than blind dovetails to hide the corner joints.
