You made this assertion in another thread recently, and I had asked you to elaborate, because this is quite simply incorrect (I think), and not a misuse at all in this case....at least as far as my understanding of what a veneer is, is.





Skip to about 18:46. It's definitely 2 veneers surrounding what I assume is solid poplar. This is a Taylor Academy 10.

Having known only what it is called in the specs, I found the term "layered sapele" quite misleading. It's really poplar with a sapele garnish.
