Automotive Veneer

The use of burl and other hardwood veneer as interior automobile trim has always signaled both elegance and luxury. In the glory days of Rolls-Royce, Bentley and Jaguar, genuine wood interior and dash trim distinguished these cars from their American counterparts. At that time, the process involved was both very expensive and labor intensive. Due to recent advances in veneer and adhesive technology, the use of real hardwood veneer is much more economical. If you’re an automotive interior manufacturer, learn how Formwood’s quality hardwood veneer products can help you produce beautiful car interior wood dashboards for your customers. Call us today.

Since 1972 FormWood Industries has been manufacturing custom veneer faces, flexible veneer and veneer laminates to fit almost any application. While walnut burl is by far the most predominant veneer used for automobile dashboard kits, we have over 100 cuts and species available including exotics and other rare formations. FormWood can supply any veneer for dashboard kit construction. From dashboard pieces, instrument trim, console faces, and door waist rails to the use of cross-banding and inlays on other fascias and fittings, the look of luxury available is only limited by the imagination. Our veneer is cut and matched to exact specifications and comes on a wide variety of backers and cores.
