Walnut Veneer 12" x 12", 3-Piece

I ordered the cherry, walnut, and maple veneers and this was the only one that arrived broken.I used it to make a wooden textile, despite it being in fragments, and just made the walnut ones much smaller. Sad, but I wasn't willing to wait for a return/resend, so I compromised with what I had.The veneers arrived packaged like a record would - in the slim, square cardboard vinyl mailers. The box wasn’t damaged and this was the only veneer to arrive in pieces, so I have to wonder if the break happened prior to shipping.

As advertised. Easy to use & cut. We were fixing missing & damaged older (1950’s) veneer so we stained/toned to match

Thinner than the advertised dimensionsVery difficult to use without breakingNot even close to flat

The Veneer had some nice grain lines to it however it was very fragile when being handled or trimmed. It adhered to the wood piece with glue well however no matter how sharp the cutting tools used, including a razor on the edges to remove the excess, the veneer split and chipped. I had a bit of filling and veneer fragments to glue back on.

The price is good. And the product is good to patch up small areas of missing veneer. It glues fine but may be too thin for typical wood glues. I had to double and triple stack cut pieces for sizes I needed. Sands nicely but stains darker. Use a flat surface and a sharp blade when cutting. Be aware of thickness before sanding. Pictures show size comparison to razor and stain to original veneer.

This veneer arrived in good condition and worked perfectly for a project I was doing. I had enough left over that I have an old Air King radio with a peeling veneer front and the pieces I have left will be perfect for that repair!

Used for an antique clock. Covered it fine. Not bad for a novice in wood work.

The walnut veneer is very brittle and very difficult to manipulate.
