Sauers Wood Identification Kit – 50 Veneers for Inlays & Project Planning

Explore real-wood veneers with the Sauers Wood Identification Kit

Take a tactile walk through some of the planet’s most beautiful woods. Each veneer sample in this kit is a solid sheet about 4 inches by 9 inches, with a slim thickness near 2/83 inch. The surface invites a close look at grain direction, color shifts, and the natural luster that finishes can reveal. Every sheet is labeled with the species name and country of origin to help you connect the sample to its source at a glance.

The kit includes 50 assorted veneer samples. The precise lineup varies with availability, but you can expect a diverse blend of domestic timbers, exotic species, and figured veneers. This dynamic assortment makes it easier to compare tones and figuring in a single session and to refine your material choices as projects evolve.

Two practical ways to use this kit

• Product planning and client consultations: show tangible options, discuss grain, color, and potential finishes with confidence.
• Craft and design experimentation: test layouts for inlays, marquetry, and small veneering projects before committing to larger sheets.

What you gain from the experience

• Direct visual and tactile comparison of wood species to inform choices during design discussions.
• Hands-on practice pairing different woods, helping you anticipate how materials will look together in a final piece.
• Reference for finishes, gluing, and machining considerations on real veneer surfaces.

Ideal for learning, reference, and client education

For students, hobbyists, and professionals, handling a real sample adds a dimension that photos or swatches alone cannot. Labels provide quick reference to species and origin, reducing guesswork in presentations and planning sessions.
