Veneer

Veneer is a thin layer of wood, typically sliced from a log, that is glued to a core material like plywood, particleboard, or MDF. This creates a finished product that looks like solid wood but is often more affordable and easier to work with.

  • Thinness: Veneers are typically less than 1/28 inch thick.
  • Appearance: Can mimic the look of various types of wood, including rare and expensive varieties.
  • Workability: Can be easily cut, shaped, and finished like solid wood.
  • Stability: Helps to stabilize the core material, reducing warping and shrinkage.
