Hi...I have a very old Welch column clock c 1865-70 that has one big nasty patch of veneer on the upper left hand side of the top (face)...it is about 2 inches wide and 6 inches long and it is the frst thing you notice on this otherwise really nice old running clock....someone has tried to repair it many years ago and did an awful job.
I want to repair it myself...I have no idea on where to get a piece of Mahogany veneer 2X6 inches or in a small quantity. I have no idea on how to get the veneer to curve to fit the ogee like curve in the case.
Can someone step me through the repair process and give me some tips on where to get veneer... I read that there was self stick veneer out there somewhere. I'd be mighty thankful to ya!
Fred
