Wood Veneer

Features

• Wood veneers are very thin slices of wood cut from the trunk of a tree or a flitch, a large block of wood, to expose grain patterns
• These slices are typically less than 3mm thick and are attached to panels made of wood or particle board to form flat panels
• Wood veneer is used to cover large areas as in wall paneling, and is also used for doors, cabinets, and flooring
• Using wood veneer provides many advantages to woodworkers, architects, and their clients alike
• Wood veneer is: Stable - solid wood is much more reactive than wood veneer because wood is hygroscopic - it takes on and gives off moisture so it expands and contracts - depending on the environment and humidity in a given space
