Several years ago, when I was doing a bit of veneer procurement for a bespoke furniture-making project, I got rather carried away and bought a whole packet of ‘Iced Birch’.
I suspect this might be a recognised disease in furniture makers, possibly exacerbated by good sales technique on the part of veneer suppliers. “If you just buy the six leaves it’ll be £20, but as it’s my last packet of this veneer I could do you the whole lot for £50!”
