עבור מי שעקב אחר ה-thred הזה ומתעניין התייעצתי עם מי שנחשב לאחד המומחים הגדולים ל-marquetry בקנדה - Ron Bowman. להלן תשובתו:
Veneer can be applied to solid wood providing the grain of the veneer and wood run in the same direction. Since the sides are joined to the ends with dovetails this should prevent any wood movement problems. To be on the safe side you could lay a counter veneer between the solid wood and outer veneer (same color wood as the others with the grain running perpendicular to the others). Always veneer both sides.
