No, actually there’s nothing wrong with veneer – this is not a cheap alternative to ’Real Wood’, Veneer is your big opportunity to make beautiful, decorative things using a vast selection of beautiful, sometimes outrageous, different woods from all over the world. Veneer allows large projects to maintain consistent colour and figure throughout, and the production of dimensionally stable panels that won’t be tempted to fight with any solid wood components in the near vicinity.

In short, Veneer opens up a whole new world of woodworking opportunities, both structural and visual.

Traditional methods of laying veneer are still valid in the 21st century, can be more versatile than modern methods, and only require a small selection of cheap low-tech tools.
