Domestic, Exotic, & Burl Flexible Wood Veneer
Fir (Abies magnifica), commonly referred to as Red Fir or Douglas Fir depending on the specific variety, is a cornerstone of North American architecture. It is prized for its high strength-to-weight ratio and its warm, inviting color palette that ranges from creamy yellow to deep reddish-brown. Our Fir veneer selection provides the perfect balance of rustic charm and refined modernism for cabinetry, wall paneling, and ceiling treatments.
We offer four distinct varieties of Fir veneer to meet the specific aesthetic requirements of your build:
Vertical Grain (Quartered): Features exceptionally straight, tight parallel lines. This cut is the gold standard for Mid-Century Modern and Craftsman styles, providing a clean, rhythmic appearance.
Flat Cut (Plain Sliced): Showcases the natural "cathedral" patterns and heartwood characteristics of the tree, offering a more traditional and rustic wood look.
Reconstituted Fir: An eco-friendly, engineered veneer made from sustainable wood species that are dyed and re-glued to mimic the perfect grain of Fir. This ensures absolute color and grain consistency across hundreds of sheets.
V-Tec Quartered: A premium engineered option designed for high-end architectural applications where a flawless, repeatable vertical grain is required without the natural variations found in raw timber.
Fir is known for its prominent latewood growth rings, which create a striking visual texture. When looking at the wood grain closely, the contrast between the soft earlywood and the dense latewood provides a unique depth. Because of its resinous nature, Fir takes clear coats and light stains beautifully, allowing the natural warmth of the wood to glow.
To ensure stability and ease of application, our Fir veneer is available in several high-quality formats:
10-Mil Paper Backer: Flexible and easy to handle for standard woodworking and curved surfaces.
22.2-Mil (Bubble-Free): Our BFV backer is highly recommended for Fir to prevent telegraphing and ensure a smooth, flat finish on large panels.
3M Peel and Stick (PSA): A high-strength adhesive solution for fast, professional refacing on-site.
Whether you are matching existing vertical grain Fir trim or specifying a large-scale project using Reconstituted veneer for consistency, our team is here to help. For information on current sheet availability or custom sequence matching, please call our veneer specialists for expert guidance.
