The word 'veneer' refers to thin slices of wood. Wood veneer is obtained either by 'peeling' the trunk of a tree or by slicing large rectangular blocks of wood known as flitches. The appearance of the grain and figure in the wood comes from slicing through the growth rings of a tree and depends upon the angle at which the wood is sliced.
There are many uses for veneers such as inlay work, car restoration and furniture, but the most popular is marquetry. Marquetry is the art of creating designs and pictures out of carefully fitted pieces of veneer wood. Using precisely cut pieces that fit together perfectly
Mouldmasters veneer packs come either as 12” lengths or assorted off cuts. The wood in these packs give a good selection by having many types of wood plus the grains may run either horizontal or vertical to give different effects.
In these packs we try and use only natural colours, but some dyed wood may be included to give a good selection.
