Acorn has the ability to utilize veneers for both unique designs and practicality. Some designs lend themselves to the use of veneers so that pattern work, repeats, and color matches can be assured. Additionally, veneers can often make a costly or rare species go much further than is solid wood is used.  While veneering is an old technique (found in the tombs of the Pharaohs), 21st Century adhesives and methods assure long life and value.

Most veneer work today utilizes a thin veneer edging applied by any of several methods.  Often, this edge deteriorates due to its inherent fragility.  The resulting chip, wear or peeling is unsightly and hard (if not impossible) to repair.  This quickly diminishes the value of the piece. At Acorn, we only edgeband with solid wood, providing a durable edge capable of enduring wear and tear.  Since this piece is glued under pressure, it will not come lose in time. The edges are thick and strong, and will wear as well as solid wood.  This method does add to the cost, but since the value of the piece is preserved, the cost over time is minimal.
