Wood Veneer

Veneer is a thin slice of wood or sometimes bark that typically is glued onto a core panel to produce flat panels such as doors, tops and panels for cabinets, parquet floors and parts of furniture. They are also used in marquetry. Unlike laminates, no two veneer sheets look the same.

Plywood consists of three or more layers of veneer.
Normally, each is glued with its grain at right angles to adjacent layers for strength.
Veneer beading is a thin layer of decorative edging placed around objects, such as jewelry boxes.
