When it comes to choosing drawers and cabinets, there are alot of options; However, Not all panels are created equally

As mentioned earlier, not all panels are created equal—and neither are all woods. Different types of wood are ideal for different types of projects—and in order to build the best drawers, cabinets, and other furniture projects, you need access to a wide variety of wood and styles. Some of the popular drawer and cabinet choices like maple, poplar, cherry, walnut, and red oak.

Demand for exotic wood continues to grow as consumers seek new ways to give their home interiors and offices a unique look. Exotic woods combine the natural beauty of wood with a touch of individual style, for a look that is both eye-catching and timeless.

Using an exotic wood veneer instead of lumber offers multiple benefits:

• The veneer process seals and stabilizes the panel so it lasts longer than solid hardwood
• Hardwood veneer provides a high-end look at a lower price compared to using exotic lumber
• Veneers offer greater flexibility and design options
• Veneers are more eco-friendly because the peeling process utilizes more of the log versus sawing it into board

Here are a few of  the exotic veneers that strike a balance between modern style and a classic look;

Mahogany Veneer

With natural luster and excellent workability, mahogany is ideal for both furniture and interiors. Mahogany sands well, stains beautifully, and provides an upscale look at a lower cost compared to other exotics.

Teak Veneer

Teak is commonly used on boats and other marine applications, but it’s also a good choice for decks, flooring, bathroom cabinets or any location that receives frequent water exposure. Using a teak veneer is also a more affordable and eco-conscious choice compared to using raw lumber.
