Walnut Crotch figuredwood veneer 14" x 29" with no backing raw veneer 1/42 thickness AA quality grade. Piece is not square 17" at base, 14" at midpoint and 11.5" at other end. Will square up at 11 x 29". One piece per price as pictured. All pieces in sequence and matching if multiple pieces are needed to be joined together. Photos show front and back pieces of original bundle. Walnut veneer will darken and go from a black color to a warmer brown and become much prettier when finished taking away the seemingly dull color. This is high quality Crotch Walnut and is being preserved well, but may require flattening as do most burls and crotches. Veneer softener is available if needed and shown in photos (sold separately). Other sizes and backed options are available. Crotch woods may have some minor cracks on edges. Ships flat in between very thick cardboard. Faster shipping is available. Pulled from bundle # 23.

About pictures: Most pictures have been temporarily wet on the lower portion of the veneer to show what the grain may look like when finish is added. Color adjustments have been made to show the color as best as is possible. It is impossible to get photos exactly correct in color, but we have made an effort to do so.
Backed products come with complete application instructions that are simple and clear. For raw veneer or un-backed products, we suggest using the Internet to see what advice is available as opinions vary on the best way to handle that product. Below is general information for most of our products. Make sure you check the listing to see which applies to the above product in particular.
Thickness: (will not always be exactly correct, but relatively close)
Paper-backed veneers = 1/40
Wood-backed veneers = 1/25
Raw plain veneer with buying no backing = 1/32-1/42
How to cut: generally cut with a razor/box knife or similar tools and some type of straight edge is typically used.
How to apply: Paper-backed and wood-backed veneers are generally applied with contact cement. Raw plain veneer is applied with white or yellow wood glue and must have pressure applied while drying.
How to finish: most any conventional finishing products can be used with veneer that is applied correctly.
Disclaimer: Sometimes veneers have minor splits or tears in them. These are usually taped or repaired in some manner and shouldnt impact overall quality or satisfaction. There may also be some minor wood filler used to fill cracks and other crevices that may exist. Wood products are rarely perfect and some consideration of that may be needed occasionally since this is a natural product and is rarely ever perfect.
Some sanding is usually required before finishing to prepare the surface for a finish and occasionally to remove veneer tape, splice glue, or some other imperfection.
