What is Bubble Free Veneer?

Bubble Free Veneer (BFV) is an Oakwood Veneer exclusive. It created with a backer that has a combined thickness of 22.2 Mil. Therefore it prevents bubbles. It can be sanded and it is completely flexible. Contact cement is the best way to apply your Bubble Free Veneer.

Benefits of BFV Wood Veneer:

1.) Has much more stability than 10 Mil wood veneer.

2.) Lies flatter since there are three layers (wood, paper, paper) and the glue, creating a moister barrier.

3.) Absolutely no black lines or seams on the edges.

BGI Millwork Lackawanna, NY has purchased BFV from us recently. They were satisfied with the product and would purchase the BFV backer again. They said "Oakwood Veneer has a large inventory and orders always get shipped quickly."

We love to hear from our customers.

Exciting New Price List Coming in a Couple Weeks

We have a new price sheet coming out at Oakwood, and, unlike menu changes at your local restaurant, we think you are going to like it. Yes, a few prices have gone up, but most stayed the same and others went down.

Here are some ways in which this new price list will help you in veneer purchasing and quoting :

1. Many burl prices are listed on the new sheet, while previously they were "call for price." This is also true for 4X14 and 4X16 size veneers.

2. The price list includes a new record of over 300 species, or about 50 more than the last price list.

3. Included are the prices for our new FSC Certified, Environmentally-Friendly Prefinished Veneer lineup, EarthSmart Veneer.

4. Explains the exciting news that all new paperbacked Oakwood veneers will be put on FSC certified and GreenGuard certified paper (some older stock will still have the non-certified paper, only until it sells out).

5. Includes our new "Total Risk-Free Guarantee," where, if you are not satisfied with the purchase of any in-stock veneer, Oakwood will not only refund the purchase price, and not only have no restocking fee, but will also pay the return shipping costs.

Be on the lookout for the new price sheet in the regular mail in about two to three weeks. If you don't get it by then, give us a call.

Oakwood Introduces Self-Adhesive Ultra Bond Veneer

After the wild success of Pressure Sensitive Adhesive veneer, or peel and stick veneer by 3M, Oakwood Veneer is introducing a new version of sticky back veneer called Ultra Bond Veneer.

Ultra Bond Veneer works the same way as 3M PSA veneer except that in our own research testing, we found that Ultra Bond Veneer sticks to the substrate even better than the 3M version.

Unlike using contact cement, or other types of glues, Ultra Bond Veneer also works in the unique way that if you apply it to the substrate and then find out it was placed slightly off, you can peel it off and re-stick, if done within about 24 hours. After this 24 hour window, the glue forms an extremely tight bond that cannot be peeled off.

Starting now, all self-stick veneer (also known as "peel n stick wood veneer"), orders will ship with the new Ultra Bond backing at the same price that 3M self adhesive veneer has been until now. 3M backing will still be available on request, at an additional charge of 30 cents per square foot. However with all results indicating that Ultra Bond does a fantastic job forming a permanent bond, there should be no need to pay this additional charge.

For any questions about Ultra Bond Veneer or 3M Self-stick backing, please call 800-426-6018 and ask for Peter or Jay.

Cedar Veneer: Western Red, Spanish, and Aromatic Cedar

Cedar Veneer comes in a variety of styles and can be a very nice choice for many different types of projects. Here is some information about the various styles of Cedar Veneer and where they might be most appropriate:

Western Red Cedar Veneer: This is also known as Vertical Grain Cedar, and although it is labeled Red, it is much closer to solid yellow in color. Therefore it is also sometimes known as Yellow Cedar. Its grain lines are thin, straight, and tight, and it smells like pencils, because solid Western Cedar is used for making pencils. Western Red Cedar Veneer comes in both regular and premium varieties.

Aromatic Red Cedar Veneer: This species has a reddish-tan (closer to red) grain with a significant amount of knots and rustic character markings. Aromatic Red Cedar Veneer has a distinctive aroma that goes well in cedar closets and chests because it repels moths.

Spanish Cedar Veneer: This wood is a golden copper red, which is a color similar to Honduran Mahogany. Spanish Cedar Veneer is known for its use in humidors, and like Aromatic Red, it has an aroma that keeps bugs away, in this case from the tobacco.
