Leafy Seadragon -- Design for a Shoji Screen, Part 4; Backing Veneer

For the back side of the folding screen panels, I am using some curly maple veneer left over from another project. Since I feel like I need some practice cutting and glueing tight seams, I decided I would lay it up in a herringbone pattern.

I will arrange these rectangles on the panel according to the marks laid out in ink. Hide glue can get wet and messy, I need these marks to be visible as reference for trimming the pieces.

The video shows the process of jointing the veneer.
