Hand veneering techniques 30 mins

This film was first made in 1986 at Rycotewood college with veneering expert Andrew Humphries demonstrating the technique. Due to the lack of sound Jeremy Broun asked one of his Rycotewood ex students Martin Lane 30 years later to add the narrative, Martin himself being a leading expert. This film is a valuable historical archive of an old technique.
