Veneering is a woodworking technique that involves applying a thin layer of wood veneer to a core panel, which can be made from materials like plywood or MDF. This process allows for the appearance of solid wood while using less material, making it a cost-effective and sustainable option for furniture and cabinetry. The veneer is typically glued onto the surface of the core and can be finished with stains or sealants to enhance its appearance. Veneering is popular in the production of furniture, doors, and decorative panels, providing a beautiful finish without the expense of solid wood.
