We produce rotary-cut hardwood veneers from 1/28 to 1/42 thickness in various species including oak, maple, and cherry. Our offerings include book-matched, slip-matched, and spliced veneers that cater to decorative plywood, furniture, and door industries. With grading options from select to paint-grade, our veneers provide versatile solutions for both domestic and export markets while maintaining strict quality control standards.

Our log procurement program sources high-quality hardwood logs across Eastern North America. We offer competitive pricing for white/red oak, hard/soft maple, hickory, walnut, and specialty species. With regional contacts covering Ontario to Wisconsin, our sustainable supply chain ensures consistent raw material quality for plywood core and face veneer production while supporting forest management practices that maintain ecosystem health.
