Custom plinth

Incredible! Love the Festool's, I make do with my Bosch ;-) .

When Art Dudley made a plinth for his Thorens TD-124, he used multiple pieces of Baltic Birch ply, but then didn't veneer, leaving the exposed Birch layers (13 per sheet, a stack of 6 pieces then having 78 layers!) visible. I, perhaps owing to my Scandinavian lineage, prefer that look to finished hardwood veneer. 

I don't see how the roundover edge through the veneer, on top of the plinth, doesn't expose the plywood? Or is the stain hiding it? I think it's a nice job he's done and folks are still complaining in the comments. I guess that's life on the web. 

@brunomarcs: Yes, the staint hat is applied to the wood veneer is also applied to the exposed edge of the Birch ply. Since that edge is so small, the lack of grain is not noticeable.

I don't see how the roundover edge through the veneer, on top of the plinth, doesn't expose the plywood?

The top veneer is applied over the edge of the  edge veneer. Therefore the top veneer is protruding past the frame plywood by whatever the thickness of the veneer is i.e. 1/32nd

I'm with mijostyn on this. Veneer is not worth the effort. My ply has a 1/3" slab of solid walnut on top and the sides are 1/2" solid maple.
