## Questions & Answers

**Q: What wood species are included in this set?**
A: The kit includes fifty different species.  The contents of the identification kit vary depending on the availability of wood veneers, but will include a wide range of domestic, exotic and figured veneers.

**Q: Does veneer mean it's fake wood? Or is it genuine wood?**
A: veneer is real wood that is made by a sharp knife slicing a thin sheet of wood from a turning block of wood.  This veneer is then glued and clamped to a less desirable piece of wood, saving money, and placing the expensive wood(veneer) where the eye can see it.

**Q: How thick it is? Im looking for 1/32 or less like cardstock**
A: Yes, these are rather thin, like a veneer sheet.  The entire stack is about 1.25" thick.

**Q: The product dimensions were described with 9X4X1 inches, but the Wilson´s customer review reported the size 8 1/2 X 4 X .04 inches. What is the size?**
A: Sometimes the "product dimensions" in the detailed description is the "dimensions" of the shipping package for some reason. Veneer is always extremely thin, and the top description says 50, 4" x 9" samplesVeneer

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A few minor issues, but overall great value and quality. I would buy again
*by A***9 on December 11, 2025*

Summary: -------------- A few small negatives, but overall an awesome purchase and was ready to give a five-star review until I discovered I was given duplicates of three different types of veneer. There were other small negatives, but it's really the duplicates that annoy me. Despite the negatives, I would still buy this again because I don't think there's a more economical way to get 50 (or 47, in my case due to duplicates) different veneer varieties anywhere near this price point and in a uniform, convenient sample size. Things I liked: ---------------- - Most of the pieces seem to be slightly oversized (e.g. 1/16 to maybe 3/32nd in length and width), giving a bit of margin for any issues. - At first, I was trying to find kits like this in smaller sizes like 2x2", but seeing it in person, I really like the 4"x9" dimension because it's big enough to allow me to apply different finishes on the same piece. For example, I could divide it into four sections of 2.25" x 4" and finish them in oil (natural look), followed by a matte, satin, and gloss in a clear coat. - came nicely sanded, my guess somewhere around 180 grit. After gluing to plywood backer, I lightly hit them with 320 grit on the orbital sander (maybe 5 seconds) and they were very smooth and ready for a finish. - 49 of 50 pieces arrived in very good condition with mostly crisp edges. A small number had slight imperfections on the edges (e.g. tiny chip missing), but not enough for me to be concerned since, in all but one case, it was less than the extra margin mentioned above. - For some species, I received pieces of the same species but cut in different ways or with/without figure. This is helpful to learning how to recognize things like flat vs. quarter-sawn wood. Things I didn't like: ---------------------- - One piece was missing a larger (~3.5" by ~1/4 to 3/8" wide) chunk from one of it's edges. I didn't see it in the bag when I opened it, which makes me think it was packaged this way rather than a shipping issue. Though it's possible I dropped it somewhere and wasn't aware. - There were three occurrences where I received a duplicate of the same piece of veneer. - While most of the labels specify how the piece was cut (e.g. quarter vs. flat vs. rift-sawn), a few of them did not. In most cases, I think I can tell that the ones without a specification were flat-sawn, but I wasn't sure about a few of them. - With a couple of the "figured" pieces, I either didn't really see the figure they were talking about or it was sparse figuring. - Although nice to receive different variations of the same species in some cases, it happened more than I would have liked. For example, rather than seeing flat vs. quarter-sawn vs. figured cherry, I would have rather received three totally different species of wood. #### List of wood received My list is below.
