Veneer can be defined as a thin sheet of material that has been fixed to a base material. Typically, the sheet of material is a type of decorative wood that adheres to the wooden carcass.

Veneer is typically an expensive material that may be rare. Some veneers come in the form of marquetry or parquetry which has been inlaid into a larger section of veneer.

The material used as the base underneath the veneer may be softwood or even laminated board. In some instances, a solid material may be used - particularly in the case of furniture.

= History =

There is evidence that veneer was used in Ancient Egypt with examples found in the tomb of Tutankhamen. It became more widely used in England, Italy and France in the 16th century. As global exploration increased in the 18th century, new types of wood (such as mahogany and Brazilian rosewood) were used for furniture making purposes. Marquetry veneers also began to incorporate exotic and semi-precious materials such as brass, ivory and tortoiseshell.

By the early 19th century, veneers were less elaborate in terms of decorative patterns but their use became more widespread. Veneer would be used over the entire base, but patterns would be linear patterns or simple natural floral designs. In the Victorian age, the imperfections of solid furniture could be covered by veneers of the same material (but of better quality).

= Modern uses of veneers =

Modern veneers are commonly used in many applications. These materials are typically glued onto the base surface.

They can be manufactured into extremely thin materials and may not even be initially apparent. Some veneers are made from wood but there are also plastic veneers as well.

Laminated veneer lumber (LVL) is a type of high-strength engineered timber that can be used as an alternative to solid timber, concrete and steel for structural applications. It is manufactured by bonding rotary peeled or wood veneers that have been sliced thinly under heat and pressure.

There is also a brick veneer (or brick slip) which is a thin layer of brick that is used as a surface finish rather than a structural one.
