Welcome to the Oakwood Veneer Virtual Sample Book We hope you enjoy viewing the samples on the following pages. Please be sure to recognize that samples shown are taken from stock that is most likely from inventory several years ago. As we create new veneer sheets, they can be slightly, moderately, or even wildly different in both grain and color from the veneer that you see presented here. There are several ways to ensure that you receive veneer that looks similar to the way you would like. Here is what you can do: 1. Let us know if it must look like the samples you are viewing here. We will let you know if this is possible or not. 2. Search images.google.com for the exact species you are looking for. Several pictures will show in the results. Find your favorite and email the picture or link to peter@oakwoodveneer.com and then call and ask for Peter. He will let you know if we have veneer that matches your request. 3. If you are matching to an existing project, you can take a digital picture of the piece (try to obtain good lighting so we can see the color and grain) and email to peter@oakwoodveneer.com - then give him a call to see if we have similar veneer in stock. 3. If you have a swatch or a piece of wood that can be mailed to us, send it to 1830 Stephenson Hwy Suite A, Troy, MI 48083. Wait a few days and then give us a call. Also, please see more pictures at our website - although keep in mind the website pictures are not life size whereas the samples in this virtual book are in fact the actual size of the sample. Our website, www.oakwoodveneer.com has our prices listed, tips and techniques, general veneer information and more. It is also always free to call and talk to a veneer expert. Our employees have several decades of combined experience installing veneer, and therefore have come across nearly every situation imaginable. If your question is technical in nature, please ask for Jay or Peter and they can help guide you through a smooth installation. Once again, thank you for taking the time to view our samples and thank you for considering us as your wood veneer source. One of the biggest things that we take pride in at Oakwood is taking the time to make sure that customers purchase the right veneer, only what they need, and that the installation runs smoothly so that the project will look beautiful now and forever. Sincerely, Peter Rodgers
