   I'm sure I'll be of no help but I use alot of Lacewood..

   Most of it is about 0.185 inch thick (3/16) and many different widths.
   Why you ask? I'd say it was there AND at a good price! Besides I like the way it looks for accents..

   I find that it is a very forgiving wood EXCEPT it 'shatters' for no apparent reason... something like Purpleheart does when sawing or routing..

   I wonder like you why the 'avoid it'?

   Will: I was talking about the ''PSA'' part, when I did a search most threads were saying to avoid ''PSA'' veneer. Have you any luck with pre-glued veneer? DukeKenneth Duke Masters

   I used the PSA backed veneer one time. That should say enough for what I think of PSA veneer. I now only use hot hide glue and regular veneer. On large projects I apply the hot glue,let it cool. Then apply the veneer and sort of iron it on. By sort of ,I mean sometimes use an iron,usually a heat gun and laminate roller.

   If you use the PSA on narrow ( under 6" wide) you should be okay I think. I should have prefaced my post ,I do not claim to be an expert in veneering. I have done a fair amount. Hopefully someone with much more experience in veneering can help more.
