Ok, so i have searched a bit, but cant really find much info on the net about laminating veneer to veneer not to a substrate like MDF,
what im basically doing is creating a 2ply peice of ply wood which i will then put into a mould and create some drums (the latter part isnt much of an issues yet)
Im having issues with the veneer rippling once i take it out of the press, its always in the press for atleast 4 hours sometimes overniht depending if i can get to it or not.
Some stats, trying to cross laminate as in grain will be H V two leaves of American Walnut together. Its about 1200 by 150. The glue i use is either PARFiX PVA wood glue, or TITEBOND III. I use a board that is about 9"wide and probably 1200 length. I Put wax paper inbetween the two boards and the veneers
so it looks like this [MDF WP Ven Ven WP MDF] i then clamp it with about 14 clamps.
any hints on what to do? I have a blog that has a few pictures etc here

someone recomended vise polyurethane glue havnt tried it yet. I should also mention that i now spread the glue thinly accross the veneer.
thanks in advance.
