Spring Cleaning Equals Great Deals on Veneer. No Fooling.

In Michigan it looks as if spring is here to stay. We decided to do a bit of spring cleaning to make room for our expanding veneer inventory. Over the next few weeks we'll be adding a bunch of new and exotic wood veneer species to our stock. As we made some room on our shelves for the incoming stock, we found some unique veneers. These veneers are mostly over runs from custom orders and include heavily figured, special sized, or overstocked species. There is some great birdseye maple and ropey cherry veneer as well as some undersized 2’ x 4’ PSA (pressure sensitive adhesive) various species veneers. Take a look below and see if you find anything you might need. You can use the linked index to go straight to the species or just scroll down the page and browse. Quantities are very limited and offers are good only while supplies last. Don’t hesitate to give us a call or email if you have any questions.

How To Use Iron On Edgebanding

Wood edgebanding is a great way to put the final touches on your veneer project. It is easy to use, covers the edges of your substrate and gives your project uniformity and the appearance of solid material. It is available in virtually every wood species and almost any size. Whether your project is made with exotic or domestic veneer species we can offer you a Pre Glued or Iron On edgebanding to match. Edgebanding can also offer other aesthetic and creative opportunities for your furniture or kitchen designs that might not be practical with solid wood material. Some designers like to use contrasting color and/ or wood species edgebanding on the edges of doors and drawers to create bold and dramatic lines in their designs.

Iron On edgebanding is very simple to use whether you have an edgebander for production runs or you are just using a household iron to apply it. Below you will find our comprehensive instruction for using Pre Glued edgebanding. And through the month of April we are offering a 10% discount on all our in stock Pre Glued and Fleeceback edgebanding.



Iron on Edge Banding Application

Tools and Supplies

Working with iron on edge banding isn’t hard and doesn’t require any specialized tools or skills. Most of the tools you will need can be found in almost any home. You will want a standard household iron, an edge trimmer or standard utility knife or razor knife. We suggest you dedicate an iron for this purpose only as you may get some glue “squeeze out” when applying the edgeband. A small travel size iron offers better control than a standard iron.

Getting Started

Whether the edges to be covered are MDF, plywood or particle board, be sure that any deep saw marks are smoothed and any voids filled. Your iron should be set on a medium heat setting. A high setting is not necessary because the hot melt adhesive on the edge banding has a low melting point. The possibility of scorching the surface of the edge banding is also significantly reduced at this lower setting. Cut your edge banding about ½” longer than the edge to be banded. Also note that rolled edge banding has finger joints, or splice joints, typically every 4’-6’. A little pre-planning will help you to work around these joints if they are too noticeable or happen to be in a high visibility area. Starting at one end, position the edgeband with one hand and apply heat and downward pressure with the iron. We recommend doing 4” to 6” first and allow it to cool which will take approximately a minute. Now that the adhesive has cooled you have effectively “anchored” the strip which will make it easier to apply the remainder of the strip. Now you can move the iron steadily along the length of the edge while applying downward pressure with the iron. Normally you will exert enough pressure with the iron but you should check to make sure all the surface area is firmly sealed down. If you discover loose spots or edges that may want to curl up then you can re-heat the area and immediately apply pressure with a wood block, veneer scraper or flat edge tool to ensure a proper bond. Always apply the edgeband on the most visible surfaces last. By applying the most visible surfaces last you will ensure that any adjoining edges that butt up to this edge will be covered or over-lapped and therefore will be less visible.

Trimming the Edge Banding

Edge banding can be trimmed with a sharp utility or razor knife, a sharp wood chisel or a commercially available flush trimming tool. Good results can be achieved with any of these methods. To trim the excess length from a strip of wood edge banding simply cut with a utility knife or razor knife back to the panel end. Cutting across the wood grain like this is best accomplished using 2 or 3 scoring cuts instead of cutting through with one heavy stroke. This will help avoid any grain tear out, especially with coarse grained woods like red oak, hickory, white ash and some others. For trimming the excess from the edges use a sharp knife edge or sharp chisel held at a slight angle, not perpendicular, to avoid gouging or scarring the adjoining surface. For best control use short strokes with your knife or chisel blade. Don’t be concerned if you leave a little excess as this will be taken care of in the final step. If you are using a flush trimming tool press the edge of the tool firmly against the face of your panel and slide it along the edge to trim the excess edge banding. Working with the grain direction instead of against the grain will produce a cleaner cut with minimal grain tear out.

Finishing Up

To give your project that finishing touch use a sanding block with 120 grit abrasive. Sand any excess edge banding with this block skewed at an angle to produce a slight beveled edge. Run your fingers along this edge to check for any sharp edges or loose grain that could snag and tear out. Allow 24 hours before staining or finishing.

March Veneer Specials

Throughout March or while supplies last, WiseWood Veneer is running a couple of specials on two of our most popular veneer species.

First up is flat cut African Mahogany veneer, also know as plain sliced Khaya. This species continues to be a staple among woodworkers and cabinet makers. A pinkish-red brown to a deep darker red brown color, flat cut African mahogany veneer has well defined cathedrals and lustrous grain. Khaya is an African hardwood of medium density that is often used as a substitute for South American mahogany. It is easy to work with and strong, with a moderately coarse texture, slightly porous grain and consistent color. Flat cut African mahogany veneer will accept stains and finishes well which accentuate the grain’s natural luster. For a limited time pay only $44.48 per 4' x 8' 10 mil paper backed sheet. Some sequencing is available. Give us a call at 586.825.2387 or email us at info@wisewoodveneer.com.

Next up is flat cut Teak veneer. A very common species among boat builders, plain sliced Burma Teak veneer is also used for by fine furniture builders. This teak is usually a golden honey brown to a deep brown color that darkens with age. Often praised for being weather and moisture resistant, it is a dense and oily hardwood that is relatively easy to work with and strong. Teak is heavy with a uniform coarse texture and medium porous grain. Teak veneer is usually not stained but finishes well with a clear coat, especially a wipe on oil finish, which preserves the warmth and accentuates the color and beauty of the wood’s natural grain. These 4' x 10' 10 mil paper backed sheets are available for only $103.60 per sheet. Give us a call at 586.825.2387 or email us at info@wisewoodveneer.com.
