You may have seen our "Incredible Box" of veneer already, but perhaps you're looking for a less expensive box. I call this product our "Mediocre Box" simply because the selection of veneer inside is not as varied and the veneers in this box tend to be a bit narrow.
This box contains a small variety of veneers that I've collected over the last couple of years. Inside, you'll find 6 or 7 veneer types from the list below...
Most boxes will have more than 100 square feet of veneer inside. There may be many consecutive-sheet bundles of veneer in each box, which gives you the opportunity to create book-matched patterns.
Each 36" x 12" x 4" box weighs at least 11 lbs.

It's a bit surprising how much veneer is included. I tried to pick up the box with one hand when FedEx left it at my door. But even with both hands I found it heavy. The box is nearly filled to the top with wood veneer. Not a whole lot of variety. Perhaps 5 different species. But lots and lots of veneer inside. I will definitely be buying another one soon.

I purchased the Mediocre box of veneer for the benefit of my local woodworking club. We have a lot of seasoned woodworkers but only a handful of us have experience with veneer so I thought it would be a good start for expanding their horizons. I sent in my order on a Wednesday and the box arrived Friday. I waited to open the box until the next day when our monthly meeting took place. I opened it up in front of the club members and there were plenty of "oohs and aahs" as we went through the bundles inside. Keep in mind that is box of veneer probably isn't intended to overly impress anyone for anything other than its very low cost. But the group thought the veneers inside were great and we're all surprised by how much veneer is included.
I have ordered from this web site many times. My vacuum press and bag came from Veneer Supplies and I use their Better Bond exclusively on my projects. The company is run by a husband and wife and they make it clear from the get-go that they want to impress their customers. They over-deliver on every promise in my opinion. It's great to support a small family-operated business like this.

I bought this box of veneer a couple of months ago and can say that its a very good value. There is more veneer in the box than I will use in a lifetime. I started giving some to friends. Many bundles were in true sequence which allows me to book-match the veneers. The veneers were all in excellent condition. I am happy with my order.

I just got my shipment and was surprised by how much veneer there is inside this box. I think there is way more than 200 square foot here. This was a great buy and will give me enough veneer to last many years of projects. Shipping was quick and reasonable. I will buy from this company again.

VeneerSupplies’ description does not do justice to the box that I received. Besides being lovely woods in their own right, having a large number -at a low cost - of consecutive sheets is liberating - go ahead and experiment with various techniques. Get some hot hide glue and work on your hammer veneering skills, book match, slip match, four way, marquetry - then get a spray bottle and an iron from Goodwill and practice removing and reinstalling veneer.
