Thin slices of wood, known as veneers, are frequently used to cover the surface of cabinets, furniture, and other woodworking projects. Logs are split into thin sheets or stripped, then glued onto a substrate to create a decorative and durable surface.
Plywood is composed of veneer layers that are glued together with the grain of each layer running perpendicular to the layer next to it, to adjacent layers for strength.
Same distinctive grain patterns, color variations, and textures that are present in solid wood are also present in wood veneers. There are many different kinds of trees from which they might originate, and each has its own distinct appearance and qualities. Wood species that are commonly used include oak, maple, cherry, walnut, mahogany, and several more.
Veneer is also a type of manufactured board.
The trunk of a tree is either peeled, or large rectangular blocks of wood are sliced to create veneers. The appearance of the grain comes from slicing through the growth rings of the tree and depends upon the angle at which the wood is sliced.
Each of the above slicing processes produces its own unique textural effect, depending on the tree species.
Producing Wood Veneers
The woodworker can use more useful wood from each tree when the logs are of higher quality. Low wood waste is achieved by slicing veneers to a thickness of only 0.6 mm. Veneer slices are usually sold in this manner, and they are always stored in the order that they were cut from the log.
Types Of Veneers
There are a number of veneers available, each serving a particular purpose.
Natural Wood Veneer
Slicing thin layers of real wood, typically gathered from various tree species, is how real wood veneers are made. They offer the color variations, grain patterns, and inherent beauty of the wood varieties from which they are derived. The can be used for a variety of things, such as wall paneling, furniture, cabinets, and accent pieces.
Phenolic Backed Veneer
For composite or synthetic wood veneers, phenolic backed is used, albeit it is less common. Popularity is increasing as people's interest for protecting forests rises. It also has a lower cracking rate when applied to curved surfaces and is available in sheet form.
Lain Up Veneer
Greater sectioning is achieved by bonding raw veneer together. It is not difficult, but it does take some time and requires close attention; expensive tools or equipment are not needed. The can be ordered through some companies already laid up to any size, shape or design.
Reconstituted Veneer
Fast-growing or less desirable wood species are transformed to resemble rare or expensive wood species to generate reconstituted veneers. To create boards with the desired appearance, the wood is sliced or removed into thin layers, then stained, reassembled and compressed.
Paper Backed Veneer
It consists of a thin sheet of solid wood adhered to a paper backing. It is more stable and easy to handle during installation thanks to the paper backing. Veneers with paper backing are often used for large-scale projects or applications where ease of use and flexibility are important.
Pressure Sensitive Adhesive (PSA) Veneer
They include a self-adhesive backing that makes installation easy and quick. The adhesive is activated by applying pressure, therefore additional glue or adhesive is not needed. PSA veneers are often used for do-it-yourself tasks or in situations where removable or temporary work is required.
Advantages Of Using Veneers
One of veneer's primary advantages over wood is that it provides more solidity. Veneer is made of thin wood layers that are bonded together, which lowers the chance of splitting or warping even if solid wood is still prone to these issues. Moreover, the adhesive used increases the product's total strength, making it more durable than wood alone.
Solid lumber would not work well for some items made with wood veneer because of the size changes brought on by changes in humidity and temperature. It also has an environmental advantage; compared to furniture constructed of solid wood, furniture manufactured with wood veneer uses less wood. Additionally, because rare and expensive exotic hardwoods might be difficult to locate, so probably easier to get than solid wood.
