FormWood 2-Ply Hardwood Veneer
FormWood 2-Ply hardwood veneer has a perpendicular
face-to-back construction utilizing a thin acrylic
membrane to provide protection against bubbling,
glue seepage and telegraphing.
The product provides no unsightly edge lines,
unlike phenolic-backed veneer.
The crossband construction allows FormWood
2-Ply veneer to bend on moderate curves in the
horizontal or vertical direction.
