If you're into marquetry, these boxes might be perfect for you. Get them while you can because the last batch I offered sold out in a few weeks and it was a year until I was able to offer these again. Each box contains about 50 square feet of raw (unbacked) veneer.
The thickness of these veneers is approximately 1/45" inch. Sizes range from 1" x 3" to 8" x 10" and sheet count varies. The box we use is 12" x 9" x 7" and weighs more than 4 lbs. There are typically more than 100 pieces of veneer in each box.
Each box contains at least 15 of the veneer types below:

Additional Notes and News:
Since these boxes contain species that can not be shipped out of the US, can you custom pack a box for me that has veneer which can be shipped to other countries?
Unfortunately, I can not offer to do that. I apologize for the inconvenience.
How much veneer softener do I need to flatten the veneers in this box?
There is really no way to answer this. I've looked at calculating this many ways but it is impossible to figure out and I'd be so far off that it would make me look like a fool or a liar. Each box has varying amounts of veneer and varying percentages of the veneer inside that actually need the softener. With that said, I think you will find that the 8 oz bottle of veneer softener goes further than you might expect.

A nice amount of beautiful veneer pieces. Originally, I got these as a sampler pack for reference purpose and to test different techniques and finishes on. Can’t wait to put them to use in an actual project.

Nice selection of veneers, good variety, including burls and fancy figures. Most arrived in excellent condition. A few pieces of awe he broke into smaller pieces that can still be used for smaller details.

This is a great buy, even if you don't plan on any marquetry projects. Gave me a better idea on what some of the exotic grain patterns actually look like. Have some small marquetry projects in mind and this assortment gives me a lot of options.

Picked up a box of mixed marquetry veneer based on the recommendation of Shannon Rodgers of The Hand Tool School. Quality, variety, and speed of service did not disappoint! Still not sure exactly what the first design I'm going to use it for is, but I have no doubt I've got all the pieces I'll need to get it done!

Beautiful veneer. Carefully packed all usable pieces. Big variety of species. Some I’ve never seen before. Will use these for small boxes and inlay in some of my furniture pieces. Now I want a Vacuum press and large sheets of veneer.

As an novice marquetry artist, I needed a variety of wood veneers to choose from. This sample box of veneers was just what I needed! It has a HUGE amount of different types and colors. The price was an added bonus. Thank you Veneer Supplies!

As I divided my assortment of veneer between common (unfigured domestics) and prime (burls, figured, rare exotics), I found the stacks nearly equal. As others noted, there were many sequential mini-packs. Overall the value in these boxes is flat out unheard of.

As with the "Big" box assortment, the amount of fine veneers for the price is amazing. One box I purchased had a nice variety with many sequential flitches, perfect for the boxes I build. Another box seemed like it was "Maple Day", many, many varieties of maple, from burl to birdseye.

I just reordered this product for the third time. Size varies, but pieces are big enough for most inlay designs, and there are usually a few sequential pieces of each type of veneer for book matching. My students and I use these pieces for inlay and marquetry, both hand cut and laser cut in our school's Fab Lab.

Just received my order - A box of random marquetry veneers. Gotta tell you that it felt a lot like Christmas when I saw the beautiful wood inside. Big pieces, book matches, amazing variety. I don't know what some of it is, but my mind is suddenly filled with a whirl wind of ideas! Perfect for the small custom projects that I do.
This was the best money that I've spent in years. Can't wait to get started!

I received my first box and I was blown away at the quality and size. I was expecting a box full of basic smaller leftover pieces dumped in randomly. All the veneer was stacked wonderfully in tight overlapping piles of 2 to 5 of the many different types and much larger than expected. You will definitely get your money's worth and more.

I've bought several of the boxes of marquetry veneer and have been happy every time. The quality and variety of veneer is really great. Often there are several pieces making up a small flitch. Some of it is good backer veneer, while much of it is awesome exotic show piece veneer. Its always a fun surprise to get these and see what I have to work with.

This box was wonderful! I am new to marquetry and this box had so many different types of veneer. Good size sheets and even quite a few matching. Great purchase for a beginner as it gives me lots of different veneer to experiment with at a great price. Great customer service as well. My order shipped fast and it was great to get a personal email from Joe. Here's hoping my first project turns out OK.

I am new to marquetry, and was a little confused about what I should start ordering, but received an email from Joe about 'practice' marquetry boxes of mixed veneer, wasn't sure what would be in the box or if it would be useful. These boxes are nothing short of simply GREAT. Many different woods with all kinds of grain patterns. And Joe is fantastic in replying to emails. What else can you ask for in a business, fast shipping, great product, great customer service! Joe, you certainly have my business as I grow and learn marquetry!

This is one of the best values for people starting to learn marquetry or for people who need some project inspiration (nothing to spark creativity like a box of random materials). My box had a wide assortment of species and many interesting pieces (burls, figured pieces, etc.), and multiple matched sheets throughout. It had almost no cracked/broken sheets.

Wasn't sure what to expect... figured on a bunch of scraps and such. Well, I was wrong. Great assortment of species, and most pieces were as large as they could be and still fit in the box! This assortment will keep you busy for a long time.
