Wood veneer is a popular interior material for adding a finishing touch to wooden projects. It is a cost-effective alternative to solid wood because it has the look and feel of exotic solid wood at a fraction of the price. You can have your preferred wood veneer, such as walnut veneer or Tasmanian oak veneer, glued over a low-quality substrate, such as MDF, blockboard, particleboard, or other types of engineered wood, for use in interior, exterior, and structural applications. This way, you can have the feel of a solid wood variety at a fraction of the cost.

Walnut veneer displays a rich colour with varies, depending upon the plant species. The finish and colours of walnut veneer vary from Australia to America, Africa, and Europe, but it remains one of the most widely used in high-end applications such as elegant interiors and bespoke kitchens. It is commonly used in decorative panels, kitchen cabinetry, custom-crafted furniture, and living room panelling. Walnut veneer tables are especially popular in Australia because the wood is durable and can withstand daily wear and tear.

Different types of walnut veneers to choose from

American walnut, also known as black walnut, is a rare walnut veneer species that comes in rich, dark-brown, and purple-black hues. It is used for a wide range of surfacing requirements, particularly in areas that require aesthetic appeal, such as lounges, lobbies, and reception areas. American walnut veneer is distinct in its structure and composition, as no two pieces of walnut veneer are exactly alike. This is because, even if the walnut veneer is sliced from the same log of wood, each piece will have distinct ring patterns and other natural characteristics such as knots, crotches, and burrs. Walnut veneer is also tougher than most softwoods and can withstand normal wear and tear. The darker Australian Walnut veneer comes from the centre of the log. European walnut veneer is a member of the walnut family. Its heartwood is grey-brown with random streaks of darker colour. Italian walnut veneer is typically darker than French walnut veneer.

Tasmanian oak veneer and its uses

Tasmanian oak veneer is yet another popular hardwood for a variety of applications. The warm, dense, and resilient Tasmanian oak veneer performs admirably and yields an excellent finish. Tasmanian oak veneer is a popular choice for panelling, flooring, and scantlings. The colour of the veneer ranges from straw to reddish brown, with intermediate shades of cream to pink. While Tasmanian oak veneer can be used to protect structural applications like timber framing, it is best suited for indoor use. It's a strong and stable wood with good all-around workability. Tasmanian oak veneer finishes, glues, and sands easily, making it an excellent choice for furniture and interior applications.

  • Interior panelling
  • Joinery
  • Mouldings
  • Rails

  • Stairs
