It turns out there are many different types of veneer. Can you tell them apart?

High-end veneer categories are primarily categorized into natural veneer, engineered veneer, dyed veneer, and smoked veneer. Each veneer type has its own unique characteristics, suiting different decorative needs and styles.

Natural veneer: Removed directly from the log and processed into a thin, uniformly thick veneer, it is often used in high-end custom designs for its natural grain and pristine texture. The grain and structure of natural veneer vary depending on the cutting method, including tangential, rotary, and quartersawn, each of which reveals the wood's uniquely beautiful grain and structure.

Engineered veneer: Crafted using modern technology, it offers a wide variety of colors and textures, capable of simulating the appearance of various rare woods and suitable for designs seeking specific visual effects.

Dyed veneer: Dyed veneer can create unique colors and patterns through dyeing, making it suitable for applications where a personalized design is desired. ‌
✍Smoked veneer: Smoked veneer imparts a unique color and texture, often used in decorating applications seeking a unique visual effect.

Each veneer type has its own advantages, and the choice depends on design requirements, budget, and personal preference. In the high-end custom design market, natural veneer is highly regarded for its natural beauty and environmental friendliness, but engineered veneer, dyed veneer, and smoked veneer also have their place for their uniqueness and aesthetic appeal.
