Bringing one sheet's grain into a piece

Covering an entire small object and using a narrow band or part of a motif require different areas of grain. Before cutting, place a paper template over the sheet to find the part you want to use. Offcuts placed side by side can also help you consider its color relationship with neighboring woods.

A sheet backed with industrial washi paper

Our product combines natural wood veneer with industrial washi paper in an A4 sheet measuring 210 × 297 mm. It is approximately 0.25 mm thick. Use it to finish a surface by bonding it to a substrate, for example on furniture edges, small objects, repairs or refacing of flat wooden surfaces, and marquetry. MORI KOUGEI A4 Veneer Sheet Product Information

Prepare an even bonding surface, then test cutting, adhesion, and finishing on an offcut before proceeding. The photographs show examples of color and grain, not a promise of an identical pattern. Deciding the layout with the actual sheet in front of you is part of the pleasure of making with natural wood. MORI KOUGEI A4 Veneer Sheet Product Information
