Our two-ply veneer has a wood-on-wood construction utilizing a thin acrylic membrane that provides the ultimate protection against bubbling, glue seepage, and telegraphing. Two-ply veneer is one of the most cost-effective wood coverings for surfaces that are less than perfect or where exceptional stability is required. The image shown for this product is a representation of the veneer you will receive in your order. This is a product of nature so there will be variation from what is shown in color, grain, and figure.
Staining & Finishing
Since this veneer is a real wood product, it can be stained/dyed easily and requires no special top-coats or finishes. Aniline dyes, oil and water based stains, Transtints, polyurethane, lacquer, conversion varnish, shellac, and tung oil are all compatible with our 2-ply veneers.
Matching Species Edge Banding
To help complete your panel, we offer a wide array of real wood edge banding to match many of our paper-backed veneers. These rolls are in stock and shipped same day if ordered before 12pm EST. Edge banding is very easy to apply and is offered in several sizes and types including pre-glued, non-glued, unfinished, and pre-finished.
Adhesive & Tool Suggestions
Two-ply wood veneer sheets are made from two layers of veneer. The face ply is the species listed at the top of this page. The backing layer is a stable and cost-effective wood species which is often ash or okoume. This combination of layers makes the sheet more rigid than paper-backed veneer and suitable for less-than-perfect substrate surfaces.

Two-Ply Veneer Options |
|
Backer Direction: | Cross Grain - The backer veneer is applied perpendicular to the face veneer. This option allows maximum rigidity and stability without risk of tearing. With this type, the glue line between the plies is more noticeable. |
Parallel Grain - The backer veneer grain is applied in the same direction as the face veneer. With this option, the veneer is more flexible along its length and can be more easily formed around curved projects. | |
Peel & Stick: | A pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) backing can be selected above. This is 3M's #9505 "peel and stick" adhesive which is applied at the factory and allows you to instantly bond the veneer to a project surface. The PSA option is available but not recommended for the "Parallel Grain" option above. |
Matching Option: | Select this option if you are ordering at least two sheets of this exact veneer and want each sheet to reasonably match the other in terms of color and grain. A matched "set" is generally limited to two sheets. There will be multiple sets for orders of more than 2 sheets. The matching fee is non-refundable. |
Lay Up Option: | This option is only available on standard-grade rift sawn oak veneers. For all others, the standard lay up method is book match. |
Book matched veneers with a riftsawn grain can have a "barber pole" effect in which light reflects differently from every other piece of veneer in the layup. To minimize this effect, you can order these veneers in a slip match. In this case, each veneer is layed side by side without reversing every other veneer face. |
Review by Dave Cambest
Rating:
I have used two sheets to make new kitchen cabinets and it lays easily and looks fantastic when finished with minimal sanding. I was surprised by how tough it is. When laying on a large surface it slipped and the contact cement took hold in a fairly large area but I was able to pull up with the help of a knife cutting the glue with no damage and relay it perfectly. When purchasing the second sheet I could not remember that I bought the first from Veneer Supplies and purchased a sheet from another source for around the same price which turned out to be VERY thin paper backed which was distorted, that went right back and I then rediscovered Veneer Supplies.
