VENEERING Meaning and Definition

  1. Veneering is a process of covering or overlaying a surface, typically of a piece of furniture, with a thin layer of decorative material or a different type of wood. This decorative material is known as veneer and can be made of various materials such as wood, plastic, or even metal. Typically, veneer is thinly sliced from a log, creating sheets that can then be applied to the surface of furniture or other objects.

    The purpose of veneering is to enhance the aesthetic appeal of the object by providing a more visually appealing surface compared to the base material. Veneering allows for the use of rare and exotic woods, creating intricate patterns, figuring, or grain effects that may be too costly or impractical to incorporate throughout the entire piece. It can also provide protection to the underlying material, preventing damage from moisture, sunlight, or other environmental factors.

    Veneering techniques can vary, but generally involve applying an adhesive to both the veneer and the surface it will be applied to, and then pressurizing or clamping the veneer onto the surface until the adhesive dries and adheres firmly. The veneer is trimmed and sanded after application to ensure a seamless and smooth appearance.

    Veneering has a long history, dating back to ancient Egypt, and continues to be used extensively in modern furniture making and woodworking.

  2. The process of decorating ordinary wood-surfaces with thin slices of rare and beautiful woods.
