Thanks for the tips on redoing the veneer on the dash. I will try to find a copy of Fine Woodworking this weekend. Also, you made me remember that I have a friend who is heavily into woodworking. Tha

Why use a veneer at all, instead of just hardwood? Is it because you wanted the burl, which was only available in veneer? I will be installing a wood dash in my TR4, and expect to use just hardwood,

You aren't confused, they are indeed veneer on plywood. I bought one for a TR4A a couple of years ago and it is BEAUTIFUL, and has held up nicely. In one of their newsletters a few years back, they h

All this talk about wood dashes and TR4's makes me wonder how many of the TR4 folks on the list have metal dash 4's like me. If you do, would you prefer wood (I don't). And finally did anybody see th

Cutting a new dash from solid wood is like going to Vegas! When you cut those instrument and glove box openings stress relief will probably cause the piece of wood to twist. If you look at the edge o

I'm 98% sure that TRF's dashes are still made by a fellow in western Pennsylvannia. Are their dashes solid or plywood with veneer? Mike (In the market for a TR4 dash)

I have a metal dash. I do like it, but think wood may still add something; hence my previous post. I will definately hold onto the metal dash, and who knows, maybe even swap every few years!. Charlie
