It is also known as Recomposed or Engineered Veneer. Widely abbreviated as Recon Veneer. It is a unusual type of veneer that is created using real wood from renewable sources to simulate rare or exotic wood species. To create a recon veneer sheet, the wood undergoes a variety of processes. At first the wood is sliced from the log, and then the sheets are dyed to get the desired wood grain color. Next the skinny strips of wood are layered, glued, and stained to imitate a beautiful, natural wood grain. The veneer block is pressed and re-sliced into paper-thin sheets. The block is rotated for different cuts that produce different looks such as plain with cathedrals, rift, or quartered.
