Veneer on furniture
|
|
Most solid wood doesn't have the unique beauty of grain patterns that can be found in veneer.
If a piece of furniture has lots of swirls and other distinctive markings and general exceptionally pretty appearance
|
you would generally be safe in making a bet that the surface is veneered.
Many old furniture makers would use whatever wood was available to them, from an apple tree or other fruit tree, alder growing along a local creek or whatever else was close at hand and they may have mixed different woods, although rare because different woods expand and contract at different rates.
After the boards were glued together to make wider pieces, they were veneered.
The difference in appearance is about the same as the difference in wearing old jeans and Sunday go to meetin' clothes.
