Plywood Veneer sizes

Veneer, on the other hand, refers to thin slices of wood that are practically peeled of the wood. The slices are usually less than 3 mm (1/8 inch) thick. The thin slices can then be glued together to create either laminated wood or plywood. Plywood typically consists of three or more layers of veneer.

The veneer can also be glued onto core panels, such as wood, particle board or medium-density fiberboard. This gives the said wood, particle board or medium-density fiberboard, the look of the wood that the veneer was cut from. The veer covered wood, particle board or medium-density fiberboard can then be used to produce flat panels such as doors, tops and panels for cabinets, parquet floors and parts of furniture. Veneer beading is a thin layer of decorative edging placed around objects, such as jewelry boxes.

Veneer is usually obtained either by peeling the trunk of a tree or by slicing large rectangular blocks of wood known as flitches. There are three main types of veneer-making equipment used:

Rotary lathe – in which the wood is turned against a very sharp blade and peeled off in one continuous or semi-continuous roll. This is mainly used for plywood.
Slicing machine – in which the flitch or piece of log is raised and lowered against the blade and slices of the log are made. This type of veneer is also referred to as "crown cut" and looks like sawn pieces of wood.
Half-round lathe - in which the log or piece of log can be turned and moved in such a way as to expose the most interesting parts of the grain.

There are many various types of veneer available in the market:

Raw veneer – has no backing on it and can be used with either side facing up.
Paper backed veneer – veneers that are backed with paper
Phenolic backed veneer – less common. Mainly used for composite or manmade wood veneers.
Laid up veneer – raw veneer joined together to make larger pieces.
Reconstituted veneer – raw veneer cut and at times dyed. Usually made from fast-growing tropical species.
Wood on Wood – decorative wood veneer face with a utility grade wood backer that is applied to the opposing direction to the face veneer. Also called 2-ply.
