Veneering & finishing

The exquisite beauty of matched wood.

Through vacuum-bagging, Woodpecker and Holzmeister produces everything from book-matched table tops and doors to diamond matches and inlay on curved and conical forms. Premium veneer flitches are selected through the High Point furniture suppliers market, and a full-time specialist finishes every piece.
