Why Choose Makore?

Take delight in knowing it's also called "African cherry" for its smooth, fine grain colored with medium brown and a kiss of red tones. The wood gets a little darker with age and maintains the luxurious reddish hints, much like mahogany does.

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.
