is a thin cover of precious wood, which is glued on solid wood or an another material of inferior quality. This process enhances the surface of furniture, doors, music instrumentsor the dashboards of noble cars. Thick veneers are also used for flooring. By the natural growth of the annual rings, its grain and colour, each veneer becomes a precious unique specimen. The colour of real wood veneer varies from light birch to reddish, lively cherry, dark coloured walnut to nearly black wenge. The grain can vary a lot. The wood pattern reveals interesting cross bars, figures, eye forms or fascinating pictures consisting of rings, clear or dark lines and even pyramid shaped forms.
As veneer is decisive for the appearance of a piece of furniture, the quality must be very high. Only selected trees meet the top quality needed for veneer production. These rare logs must be very strait, with no branch holes and a beautiful overall appearance. The production of good veneer takes a lot of effort and know-how.
After cooking the logs, the wood is cut or peeled to leaves in a thickness between 0,5 and 2 m – the standard thickness being 0,6 mm. When slicing, the sheets are cut leaf by leaf from the log. When peeling (rotary cutting), the log is rotating. Rarely veneers are also sawn. After cutting or peeling the veneer sheets are dried parallel lined and mostly bundled to stacks of 24 or 32 sheets. Every tree and each sheet of veneer is unique. This, combined with our wide range of different veneers and boards from all over the world, is offering you a vast choice.
