With a larger insert piece like this, you may want to hold the workpiece in place for a few minutes until the glue sets . Slide the graphite pape r between the pattern and the workpiece.
This is roughly the location of the branch pattern on the opposite side. To complete the project, we will make the branch. I have chosen a veneer complimentary to the leaves in color and texture. Place the insert veneer over the background veneer. To aid in placing the background veneer on the new insert veneer, I drilled a hole through the background veneer at both ends of the length of the branch. These holes serve as locators when positioning one veneer over another to ensure the desired grain direction and to prevent placement of the veneer outside of the pattern.
With narrow pieces like this, be especially careful to follow closely to the pattern line. 36 Do a final check before gluing and tapping the branch in place. Congratulations!
