veneering

Veneering is a woodworking technique that involves applying a thin layer of high-quality wood, known as veneer, to a less expensive or less attractive substrate, like plywood or particleboard. This process enhances the appearance of furniture and surfaces while keeping costs down, as the underlying material is often cheaper. Veneers can be made from various types of wood, allowing for diverse finishes and designs. Veneering not only provides aesthetic appeal but also helps to reduce waste, as it uses less valuable wood for the bulk while showcasing more desirable grain patterns and colors on the surface.
