WOODS I USE

Here's a list of all the range of different woods I work with. Some come in solid form but others are only available in veneer. Quite often more exotic or rare woods are made into veneers purely so timber merchants can maximise the cuts taken from that specific tree.

Veneers are always thin and generally start from 0.6mm to 5mm in thickness. I glue the veneer to the surface of plywood, of which then becomes hidden below. Using veneer is a more cost effective option and is less prone to warping or splitting.
