Oakwood Veneer Company is the Veneer Industry Standard
300+ wood veneer species (in all sizes with your choice of backers) are here for your woodworking projects. But only one species can make it all happen -- the human one!
It's our goal to stock exactly what you have in mind and ship it to you the same day you call (if ordered before 12:00 noon EST).
To make that happen we have a stellar team -- from the guys in back who work the machines each day to create our top-quality wood veneers, to Rich and James who work in the warehouse to select and pack up your order, to Peter and Jay who answer your technical questions, and to all of the front office staffers who process your order and make sure it all ships on time! Add to that the many details that make a business run like clockwork and you have the entire team at Oakwood.
