Whether you’re a hobbyist or a furnituremaker, you’ll be delighted with the results you get with this all natural wood veneer by Sauers and Company. Afromosia veneer has a beautiful golden brown color; a fine, uniform texture; natural luster; and a typically straight grain that may produce a broken stripe when quarter cut. It is a harder wood veneer, making it a great choice for cabinet and casework projects. It can also be used as an alternative to teak for boat interiors. Quarter Cut Afromosia can be found in West Africa. The common names are assamela and mohole. It is also known as African Walnut Veneer, kokrodua, ayin, egbi and ejen. Wood on Wood or 2-ply veneer is created by permanently bonding two wood veneers together. The face veneer is perpendicular to the backer veneer which provides protection against bubbling that can occur when a veneer is improperly bonded to the substrate. This type of "crossband construction" allows the veneer to bend on moderate curves in the horizontal or vertical direction.

FAQs

What is wood veneer?
Wood veneer is a thin layer of real wood sliced or peeled from logs, used to cover surfaces for a natural wood appearance without the weight or cost of solid wood. It’s commonly applied to plywood or MDF for furniture and cabinetry.

How to clean wood veneer?
Clean wood veneer gently using a soft, damp cloth with mild soap if needed. Avoid excess water or harsh chemicals that can damage the thin wood layer and finish.

Can you stain wood veneer?
Yes, but because veneer is thin, it’s best to test a stain on a scrap piece first. Staining can enhance color but may penetrate unevenly, so many woodworkers prefer tinted finishes or dyes designed for veneer.
