Veneer Nails
These are small
23 gauge x 3/4" long headless wire nails for clench nailing or fixing
veneer layers together into a sandwich type package prior to scroll saw
cutting. They are nailed through the entire packet, and the nails bent
over on both sides of the packet to 'clench' the layers of veneer
together. 'Packet cutting' is commonly used in decorative veneering and
marquetry. The small hole created in the veneer by the nail will virtually
disappear after the skin is glued to the core. The Accuset micro pinner
nail gun uses such nails, and is an excellent tool for production
marquetry. Note that on the bar of nails there is a directional arrow
shown for nailing purposes. (Schürch ®)
