Popular Wood Veneer Species
Walnut
Walnut features an elegant grain and color variation throughout every sheet of veneer. And while the heartwood ranges from light to chocolate-brown color with subtle stripes, it sometimes displays light golden markings that give it even more character. You'll find Walnut used quite often in architectural millwork, high-end furniture, accent walls, and, interestingly enough, judges' panels.
White Oak
A timeless hardwood, White Oak is known for its distinctive uniform grain and slight color range that shifts subtly from light to medium brown. A particularly popular cut, the light, uplifting color of Rift White Oak is a popular choice for kitchen cabinetry, as it blends easily and seamlessly with many design elements. While the Rift cut of White Oak has a very straight, combed grain appearance, the Plain Sliced variety showcases the heart or cathedral of the tree quite prominently.
Maple
Another favorite species for cabinetry and architectural paneling is Maple - for both its innate qualities and its ability to assume other colors. Naturally light and bright in color, the best Maple veneer can also be dyed or stained to achieve any desired look or color. It truly is the chameleon of Wood Veneer, and its subtle, elegant grain blends well into any environment or design style.
Alder
A softwood that grows best in moist conditions at lower elevations, Alder thrives in the Pacific Northwest. Color-wise, it ranges from light tan to reddish-brown for some of the most gorgeous Wood Veneer you can choose. And woodworkers love it because it's a stable wood that's not prone to structural movement - once it's installed, it's highly reliable, maintaining elite constructural integrity.
Cherry
The Wood Veneer of Cherry, or "Black Cherry" as it's also known, offers a uniform light-reddish appearance with a satin texture and tight uniform grain. When quarter cut, it produces a vertical grain with a mellow striped appearance. And yet, while subtle, you'll find that all cherry has at least some hints of figure in the grain. Because of its warm color, Cherry wood makes beautiful furniture, hardwood flooring, and wall paneling. Basically, it's an excellent choice for almost any application. But kitchen cabinet makers especially love its rich, warm tones.
