I’ll be building a double vanity in the not too distant future which raised some questions about material selection. Is veneered plywood essentially the same as buying veneer and applying it to a substrate in this application? Is there an advantage of one over the other aside from cost and time?
I can get 3/4 white oak ply from The Hardwood Store for $189 a sheet, while the white oak veneer I’m seeing online ranges from $50 - $125 for 4’ x 8’ ($90+ from reputable woodworking sites like Rockler and Woodcraft and around $50 from BORG and Amazon) plus whatever substrate I went with. It seems like the cost of veneer would make it prohibitive for use in this instance. Am I missing something?
If veneer truly is the superior product for this, can anyone point me to a good YouTube video or other place to learn good veneer techniques and tools required please?
