Here are Some More Choices in Jatoba You Might Like:
These real wood veneer sheets are composed of premium sliced hardwoods that are spliced along the edges to make the full width; splicing is also done in a book matched pattern that's attractive and helps hide the splicing seam. The sheets use full-length slices so there are no splices to make the length. The 10 mil (10 thousandths) thickness paper backing allows the sheet to bend, flex, and work with curves and shapes without splitting. Apply paper back veneers with contact adhesive to make panels of large projects: conference tables, desks, doors, cabinet doors, coffee tables, etc.
- Quantity: One sheet has 16 square feet
- Thickness: Aprox. 1/42''. The paper backing allows the thin wood to bend and flex without splitting or breaking. (Wood is sanded to 220 grit)
- Widths: 24'' wide, typically 4 to 6 individual slices are laminated along the edges to create the full width.
- Lengths: 96'' (8 feet), whole-piece slices make the length (no splicing)
- Grade: Architectural grade paper back veneer is cut from the cleanest and most attractive logs; all sheets are sanded smooth to 220 grit. See our page about Hardwood Grading for some details about common lumber grades and their definitions.
