Domestic, Exotic, & Burl Flexible Wood Veneer Made in the USA.
Oakwood Veneer is a direct-to-pro manufacturer specializing in high-performance Cedar veneer sheets. From our facility in Troy, Michigan, we hand-select and process our raw inventory to ensure our sheets meet the exact structural and aesthetic demands of architectural millwork, luxury closet linings, and custom cabinetry.
Our professional-grade sheets allow commercial woodworkers and custom shops to fabricate their own premium cedar plywood panels, retail fixtures, and architectural casings at a fraction of the cost of pre-manufactured architectural plywood, all while retaining total control over face grain sequencing.
This matrix outlines the total thickness of your wood veneer sheet as it arrives at your shop or job site, allowing you to plan exact inset depths, edge banding tolerances, and face applications.
| Backer Option | Best Use Case Profile | Total Finished Thickness (As Delivered) |
| 10-Mil Paper Backer | Highly flexible and easily formed; engineered for wrapping tight radii (2"-3"), curved structural columns, and traditional cabinetry casing. | .022" to .025" (~1/40") |
| 22.2-Mil Bubble-Free (BFV) | A thick structural backer designed to eliminate veneer "checking" and prevent the underlying substrate grain from "telegraphing" when building custom cedar plywood alternatives. | .026" to .029" (~1/35") |
| 3M™ Pressure Sensitive (PSA) | High-performance "Peel & Stick" adhesive backing that reduces steps in production. Ideal for fast, flawless on-site closet and cabinet refacing. | .023" to .026" (~1/40") |
| Wood-on-Wood (2-Ply) | Multi-ply wood construction utilizing a utility back-ply. Completely bridges minor core imperfections while delivering a heavy, solid-wood feel. Minimum 12" bending radius. | .038" ± .002 (~1/26") |
| Phenolic Backed | An ultra-stable, hard-shell resin backing that acts as a permanent moisture barrier. Required for heavy-use hospitality countertops, saunas, and high-traffic spaces. |

To help estimators, architects, and millwork shops match the precise requirements of their design blueprints, we offer our premium Cedar sheets in distinct regional varieties, grain selections, and dimension profiles:
Standard 4’x8’ Inventory: To fit seamless, everyday workshop production patterns, our Aromatic, Western Red, and Spanish Cedar styles are stocked standard in 4’x8’ dimensions.
Architectural 4’x10’ Sizing: To satisfy modern, tall vertical panel tolerances and seamless accent walls without horizontal joint lines, our premium Alaskan Yellow Cedar is exclusively stocked and available in 4’x10’ sheets.
Aromatic Premium: Celebrated for its potent, highly recognizable natural scent and deep rustic character. Sourced and processed to preserve the essential natural wood oils that naturally deter pests, making it the industry standard for lining luxury closets, chest interiors, and protective storage vaults.
Western Red Premium: Features highly refined, signature warm reddish tones mixed with soft amber highlights. Perfect for premium furniture builds, matching existing millwork, and warm architectural ceiling panels.
Western Red Vertical Grain: Quarter-sliced to present an exceptionally uniform, parallel, straight pinstripe grain pattern. This configuration eliminates chaotic arches, providing an clean minimalist rhythm required for ultra-contemporary commercial interiors.
Western Red Rustic Knotty (Character Grade): Intentionally hand-compiled to display sound structural knots and dramatic color contrasts. Frequently specified by designers aiming for an authentic, high-end mountain-lodge or modern farmhouse appearance.
Spanish Cedar: Highly stable, lightweight, and naturally moisture-resistant with a distinct, subtle cedar aroma. A favored selection for high-end humidor linings, custom instrument crafting, and specialized architectural details.
Alaskan Yellow Cedar: Sourced from the Pacific Northwest, this elite variation offers an exceptionally dense, fine-textured grain with an elegant, uniform pale yellow to cream color profile. Ideal for clean architectural cabinetry and marine-adjacent fixtures.
Because we operate as a direct stocking manufacturer, we maintain control over our entire flitch selection, allowing us to ship most standard orders the same or next business day.
