Why Choose Red Oak?
The pride of the American heartland, red oak evokes a sense of rugged Americana for woodworkers - bold grain, good workability, and timeless appeal.
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.

Red Oak Veveer
I used this to replace peeling veneer on a door. Perfect match. The product was as described and came without any damage. Shipping costs were the same as the cost of the product, but understandable considering the size of the box.

Beautiful veneer
I recently renovated my 22-year-old kitchen, and I really wanted to save my original oak cabinets which were very good quality but needed refinishing. One problem was that the end cabinets were never covered with real wood paneling, so you could see the laminate, which made the whole kitchen look cheap. This veneer was the perfect solution. We covered the sides, and then stained it to match the rest of the cabinets. I saved thousands of dollars by not having to replace all the cabinets. Great stuff!
