About VeneerSupplies.com
Yes... it's really a page about us. Imagine that!

Our website often conveys the image that we are a large corporation with a giant facility and dozens of employees. The truth is that our business is operated entirely by me, my wife, and a part time helper. We handle everything from customer questions and website maintenance to order packing and credit card processing from a small warehouse here in Forest Hill, Maryland.

I'm an average woodworker with an average workshop and way too many projects to get done. I enjoy everything from small lathe work to large furniture projects. But it seems like I spend most of my free time sharing and swapping woodworking stories.

Many years ago, I built a vacuum powered veneer press to add to my tool collection. The project was successful so I decided to write an article describing the construction process. After much testing and adjusting, I put the vacuum press article on the Internet. Then in March '03, I opened VeneerSupplies.com to help get vacuum pressing parts and exotic wood veneer into the hands of hobbyist woodworkers and small-shop craftsmen. Since then, the web site has received well over 18 million page hits and I have personally answered over 270,000 emails about veneering and vacuum pressing. That is an average of about 37 emails per day (including weekends) since we started our business over 20 years ago!

What Can You Expect From VeneerSupplies.com?

• My wife and I will do our best to ensure a safe journey for your order from our warehouse in Forest Hill, Maryland. We use recycled, unprinted newspaper to pack most orders. The beauty of this packing material is that it is biodegradable, static free, and it won't make a mess in your shop the way styrofoam peanuts do. It is also a great absorbent paper for our veneer softener.
   
  
• We will ship your order within a very timely manner. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by how quick we get your order on its way. You'll also receive a tracking number (when applicable) as soon as we get your shipment on its way.
   
  
• You can expect the items in your order to be exactly as described on the website. If something in your order does not meet your expectations, we will work with you to make it right.
   
  
• Questions? I will answer your email quickly and personally. It is not uncommon for us to spend several hours on any given day helping out fellow woodworkers through email.
   
   

The Staff at VeneerSupplies.com

I've been fortunate to have a great staff that makes our business run as smooth as it does. Where would I be without them? This website would not exist if not for the hard work and endless enthusiasm of our dedicated staff. Here's the whose-who of our company...

As you can see, we're simply a small company trying to get more woodworkers into the art of veneering. If you have a question, we'll answer it personally. If you place an order, we'll fill it personally. And if you like what we've done here, we'll accept your kind words personally.

Thanks for dropping by. We hope to hear from you soon!
