Veneer and Plywood

Veneer in woodworking, refers to thin slices of wood, usually thinner than 3 millimetres (1/8 inch). Veneer layers are usually glued and pressed onto core panels of different materials (such as wood, particle board or medium density fiberboard) to produce flat panels such as doors, tops and side panels for cabinets, parquet floors and parts of furniture. They are also used in marquetry. Plywood is made up of a number of layers of veneer, each layer glued with its grain at right angles to adjacent layers for strength.

Veneering is an ancient art, dating back to the ancient Egyptians who used veneers on their furniture
