The process of veneering can be traced back as far as ancient Egypt and has always played a major role in the decorative elements of furniture making. Today, as our natural resources continue to dwindle, the use of veneers will aid in extending the life of the remaining stands of exotic trees.
 
The production of higher quality substrates has resulted in product excellence that has gained worldwide acceptance.  Moisture gain and loss has been greatly curtailed by the pressing of veneer onto an inert substrate. The ability to match in color, figure, and size has given veneered furniture a distinct advantage over solid wood. Many of the beautiful natural configurations and anomalies found in the trees being felled today are utilized to the utmost advantage by slicing them into veneer. Also, the matching capabilities are endless.
 
As we move into the 21st century, handmade furniture with veneer usage will become more and more prominent. At Hesser Handcrafted, we specialize in selecting custom veneers that meet the needs of each individual client.
