| These paper-thin sheets can then be applied to various man made boards such as Plywood, Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF), Chipboard and Hardboard to give the appearance of more exotic timbers. By doing this to these man made boards it makes them an ideal material for cabinet makers and craftsmen to make unique furniture due to the workability, lightness and flexibility of this type of product. | |||||

|||||
| Using veneers in this way is the best way to ensure that finely figured timbers, burls, fiddleback and birds eye effects, as well as minor species timbers are able to be a more sustainable resource for generations to enjoy for years to come. | |||||

| Cumming Timbers & Veneers recommends our veneer products as being suitable for use by craftsmen and hobbyists, in the manufacture and renovation of quality furniture, internal linings, fittings for recreational vehicles such as caravans and boats as well as various other uses. However we do not recommend that our products be used on surfaces such as glass and metal and to do so would be at the discretion of the user. | |||||
