A veneer is a thin sheet of wood sliced, sawn, or rotary-cut from a log. When assembled it is referred to as a “ply”.

The method of decorating the exterior of furniture with a thin slice of a quality timber. Veneer cutting was a skill developed on the continent of Europe and became fashionable in England from circa 1650. Veneer was originally cut by hand using a saw, later, during the 19th Century it was cut by machine.

Thin sheets of high quality, fine-grained wood fiber that is used for furniture, flooring and paneling. Veneer is produced from a process that entails peeling large diameter logs.

Thin slice of wood sawn or rotary cut for laminating. Veneer is usually cut from the most desirable species.

A very thin layer used as a facing.

A thin sheet of wood glued to various cabinet parts. The stronger, but plainer-looking core wood is invariably first covered with "cross banding" glued at right angles to its grain, and then the cross banding is covered with fancy veneer with the grain running parallel to the core. This sandwich greatly strengthens a cabinet against cracking and warping. Marquetry consists of small pieces of veneer of various grain patterns and colors inlaid flush into the surface of the surrounding veneer to create various designs, borders, etc.

A thin layer of decorative wood, or sometimes tortoiseshell or ivory, glued over a wooden body or carcass. Veneering was practised in ancient Egypt, Greece and the Roman Empire, and rediscovered in the early 17thC.The craft came to Britain from Holland a few decades later, and by the 18thC French and British cabinet-makers had raised it to a fine art. They cut woods such as walnut, satinwood and rosewood to make fullest possible use of grain and colour. The thickness of a veneer depends on the quality of the wood and how it is cut; generally 18thC hand-sawn veneers are 1/16in (1.6 mm) thick; 19thC circular saw veneers, 1/32in (0.8 mm) thick, and the veneers produced by the machine-powered tools of the late 19thC are thinner still. See burr.

In dentistry, a veneer is a thin layer of restorative material placed over a tooth surface, either to improve the aesthetics of a tooth, or to protect a damaged tooth surface. There are two types of material used in a veneer, composite and porcelain. A composite veneer may be directly placed (built-up in the mouth), or indirectly fabricated by a dental technician in a dental laboratory, and later bonded to the tooth, typically using a resin cement such as Panavia.
