Storing Veneer
#11
I recently realized I have quite a bit of veneer cutoffs of all sizes and shapes but no good way to store them. I would like to hear how some of you store yours.

For me storing them is easy; in an assortment of boxes. The trick was remembering what I have and in which box.
My solution? Each group of veneer sheets is photographed with a label specifying species, length, width, count, and box #.
All digital photos are stored in the same folder so visually scanning them is now simple.

Good idea Chuck. I'm sure I'll use at least some of you method.

I just started collecting veneer too.  I took digital photos and keep them on my computer and I also put them on a spreadsheet, printed it out and adhered it to the box. for reference.  I also bought a few of those plastic stackable bins that pull out and sort them by color.  seems to work out.  now just to get in the shop and make something.

I don’t take pics or make notes. That way it’s like Christmas morning every time I open up the veneer package. I forget some of the good looking stuff that’s inside.

Crazy Merry Christmas dude. That's pretty much what I've been doing except they were in several different places around the attack & wood shed. At least I got them in one place for now. priorities, etc.

I have an old box from a folding scooter. About 36” x 12” x 2”. It has a nice tab and slot sealing top.

Ideal for storing veneer cut offs.

The photo is the door of a wall cabinet. I have another set like that on another door. Here's a webpage with a photo.
