There is so much to learn about veneers. But do not worry it is a topic that we will go over again in more detail in 2nd year. 


The art of Veneering is over 4000 years old, back in ancient Egyptian times.  


The video oppisite on cutting veneer is very good it gives a very clear demonstration on the different methods used to obtain different veneer patterns. 

The PDF opposite displays the veneer patterns created by first year students of 2012 /13.
