Why Choose Hard Maple?
Nothing else compares to hard maple's alluring combo of clean white color, smooth grain, and incredible strength.
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.

What Does The Janka Hardness Rating Mean?
The Janka hardness test is the international standard for measuring the resistance of a sample of wood to denting and wear.
It's expressed in psi, or pounds-per-square-inch. The test measures the pressure required to embed an 11.28mm (.444 in) diameter steel ball into wood to half the ball's diameter. The measurement was developed to determine whether a species is suitable for use as flooring; however, we include it here and compare it to the rating of red oak to help you make a buying choice.
There is a difference between hardness and being difficult to work with. Generally speaking, the harder the wood the easier it is to finish and polish. Harder woods create good, solid long-lasting joinery in furniture.
The hardness of wood varies with the direction of the wood grain, and varies from piece to piece. So a Janka rating is an average of numerous tests performed on all directions and numerous pieces. Use the Janka hardness rating as guide, not a definitive answer.

Just what I needed
I needed a wood veneer to cover the sheetrock on the inside of three window openings. The windows had wood moldings so I wanted it to appear that the entire window opening was wood. I stained with a pecan stain/sealer and it just about matched the pine moldings.

wood veneer
Face frames of old cabinets were 40 years old.I made a correct call on the wood being maple . An additional pantry with exposed sides without any wood veneer- this was a staining project. With the pantry height at 84", the maple veneer 2x8 sheet flat cut was the answer in getting the same stain color and same grain pattern . It was economical and flexible to use. This is a wonderful product, and would order again.

Nice Veneer
I found the product to be easy to work with. I was able to put a new front on an antique wash stand door for a restoration. The maple was fairly easy to stain to a close match to the rest of the wash stand.
