Wood veneer

Common card · No. 258745

Veneer is a thin slice of wood or sometimes bark that typically is glued onto a core panel (typically, wood, particle board or medium-density fiberboard) to produce flat panels such as doors, tops and panels for cabinets, parquet flooring and parts of furniture. Veneer is also used in marquetry. Plywood consists of three or more layers of veneer. Veneer beading is a thin layer of decorative edging placed around objects, such as jewelry boxes. Veneer is also used to replace decorative papers in high pressure laminate. Unlike laminates, no two veneer sheets look the same.
