Patterned lengths, motifs and stringing for box making and creative carpentry
Veneer inlay is a decorative woodworking technique: thin pieces of wood, known as veneers, are cut and glued onto a substrate in a pattern or design. We stock three kinds, all ready to set into your work: patterned inlay lengths, single inlay motifs, and fine stringing.
Patterned bands, each 1220mm long (1.2m), in 35 widths from 4mm to 50.5mm. Sold one length at a time.
Single pieces to set into a lid or panel: rounds from 40mm to 113mm across, and squares and shapes up to 183mm x 130mm. Sold one motif at a time.
Fine lines for borders and edges: black, beech, brown and black-white-black, 1mm to 4mm wide and 1mm thick, in 1m lengths.
Every inlay length is 1220mm long. These are the 35 widths in Inlay Lengths, from 4mm to 50.5mm, narrowest first.
