What is a "plank matched" veneer?
There are some woodworking projects where the repetitive matching of sequential veneers laid side by side can look a little too artificial for some users. These sheets are made from several different flitches of veneer so that it looks like solid lumber. Each veneer within the sheet is different in size and grain pattern.

Yes, this is real wood! Each is made from sequential sheets of wood veneer selected for outstanding character and figure. These veneers are then permanently bonded to a paper backing which allows maximum flexibility. From architectural woodwork for office and residential furniture to store fixtures, kitchen cabinets, automotive dashboards, high-end stereo speakers, and more, no other veneer has such as wide range of uses. Nothing compares to the natural elegance of our paper-backed veneers.

Staining & Finishing
Since this paper-backed 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 paper-backed veneers.

Matching Species Edge Banding
To complete your veneered panel, we offer a wide array of real wood edge banding to match many of our paper-backed veneer species. Pre-glued edge banding is in stock and ready for immediate shipment. These rolls are very easy to apply and are sold in small, wide, and standard sizes. Non-glued and pre-finished edge bandings are also in stock.

Adhesive & Tool Suggestions

• We highly recommend Titan DX™ which will bond this veneer to plywood, MDF, and particle board.
• These veneers can also be adhered in a vacuum press with Better Bond X-Press™ veneer glue.
• Better Bond Heat Lock™ and Flex-Pro™ work quite well if a vacuum press is not available.
• A pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) backing can be selected below. This "peel and stick" adhesive by 3M™ is applied at the factory and allows you to instantly bond the veneer to a project surface.
• A scraper tool must be used to apply backed veneers with contact cement, Flex-Pro, or PSA backing.
• The excess veneer on a completed panel can be trimmed with a razor blade or a veneer saw, but many users get the cleanest cut with a router and a down-cutting spiral bit.
