Spalted Maple Veneer

 
 

Veneer is paper thin slices of wood taken from the same log. Due to our spalted maple’s unique variability, veneer is the best way to cover a larger space with similar designs. The veneers taken from our spalted maple are glued onto other structural wood core panels to produce an industry standard sheet of hardwood plywood. Each batch of veneer we process has its own unique spalting pattern that cannot be replicated. Hence, it is like a fingerprint; no two are the same and you will never see the same design anywhere else.

 

Uses:

Veneer is typically used for vertical surfaces such as doors, wall paneling, and cabinets. Veneers are also useful for covering parts of furniture and adding a beautiful finish to fine wood instruments such as guitars and ukuleles.
