How to join veneer sheets end to end to get long lengths without noticeable seams.

Posted by Bob Morgan, Pres. Veneer Factory Outlet/Wood Veneer Factory Outlet on 20th Dec 2023

Hi Bob,

Can you supply me with an extra long sheet of veneer, 16 feet to 24 feet long?

Paul

Hi Paul,

Our most popular veneers come in 8', 10', and 12' lengths. But there is a way that you can join the veneer end to end

to get longer lengths without having a noticeable seam at the joint.

Most of our veneer sheets are made using book matched components. You can cut the veneer

sheet down the middle going the long direction. Then, take one of the halves, rotate it 180 degrees, and match the

grains end to end. The grain patterns will closely match into each other and this will make the end joint less

noticeable.

Regards,
