Re: Polyurethane Sanding Question
I have had success with simply wood glue and pressure, followed by some 180+ sanding (not too much as I find sanding very dull) and linseed oil or Danish oil depending on what I had. A few coats of that and some curing time and I think the result on this oak over plywood was just what I was looking for. I cut the edges off each side with a scalpel to deal with the overlap after the glue dried and sanded the corners off somewhat.
I think you'll have more difficulty the finer the figuring of the veneer and the thickness of it. With an open grain like oak, I didn't want to fill it so the finish is not flat but slightly dimpled as the oil/varnish has not levelled out the grain completely.
