Letter about veneers in general
Hello! Many people are getting
into veneers. They are cost effective, ecologically prudent, and allow
design possibilities which are not attainable with solid stock.
Our veneers are 100% natural
wood species. These are NOT backed with cheap
paper and are NOT pre-seamed. If you require pre-seamed sheet goods, you
have come to the wrong place...
-
The veneer is sliced in a variety
of ways. It is sliced consecutively from the
tree. Actually most logs are cut to 8'++ lengths, de-barked, and then cut
in half (through the heart of the log). This half log is then sliced in
consecutive sheets and is called a "Flitch". These normally contain anywhere
from 500 sq.ft. to over 5,000 sq.ft. and are sold as unbroken units at
the veneer mill. Thus, the lengths are normally 8'+ and anywhere from 4"
to 24+" in width (the average is in the neighborhood of about 10"). However
there are many cuts, such as Quartered, Rift, Half Round, Rotary, and several
other combinations.
-
Thickness:
Most veneers are produced in the following increments > 0.50mm (1/50"),
0.55mm (1/46"), 0.60mm 1/42", 0.65mm 1/39", and 0.70mm (1/36")... Thicker
veneers can be custom produced or may be available in Commercial Quantities...
-
You can order several hundred
types of veneer in full crate increments (flitches)
at very competitive wholesale prices...
-
However, since most woodworkers
only need small quantities, we have collected
many interesting and unusual veneers and placed them in our open inventory.
This means you can purchase most veneers in single sheet quantities. Some
sheets are as big as 13' long and 16" wide; some are as small as 6" x 6".
I ship these smaller orders either flat or rolled up - UPS (in the USA)
or USPS (to foreign countries).
Please try the following links.
You can look at actual inventory
and then select the appropriate
sizes for your project from the
price list...
