Choose the beech face and the construction beneath it.
Start with the component thickness and visible faces. Add the core, veneer and finishing details that turn that choice into a panel your workshop can use.
- Panel construction
- 3–30 mm with poplar, birch or eucalyptus cores. Specify your selected thickness, bond and dimensional tolerances.
- Face arrangement
- Single or double sided beech veneer. Identify the reverse-face requirement for doors, dividers and open shelving.
- Wood & matching
- Veneer matching available. Include the cut, grain direction, colour range and groups of adjoining components.
- Machined details
- Face veneer thickness, routing depth, hinge recesses, joint locations and the edge that stays visible.
- Finish & edging
- Your planned sanding and coating, edging or solid lipping, joined sample and selected sheen.
- Quantity & delivery
- Sheets or components by item, matching-group quantities, selected spares and the named FOB or CIF port.
The beech face identifies the decorative veneer; the core description identifies the internal plies. For an exposed layered edge, review the chosen construction in the actual component. Keep face veneer thickness separate from the overall panel thickness when planning sanding or routing. Use the panel measurement plan for finished dimensions and the face/back purchase schedule to record the appearance you will accept.
THREE WAYS TO BUILD YOUR BEECH PANEL ORDER
Choose the next step that fits your furniture.
A door run, an open divider and a routed component need different sample details. Start with the feature your customer sees most clearly, then connect it to the construction and quantity.
Make the joint and the whole run work together.
Leaf matching describes how veneer pieces meet on a panel. A numbered sequence describes where panels or cut components go in the furniture. Use both when the design needs them, and select the finish on adjoining pieces together.
Scroll horizontally to compare all columns.
| Layout to compare | What your team selects | Keep that layout in the request |
|---|---|---|
| Book matchIllustrative layout; select actual leaves and finished samples. | Alternate leaf faces are turned over to form a mirrored joint arrangement. Review the proposed leaves under the intended coating and lighting, from both viewing directions. | Specify the selected joint, colour range and group size. Request a beech book-match trial |
| Slip matchIllustrative layout; select actual leaves and finished samples. | Successive leaves are placed without reversal. Review the repeated pattern and joint arrangement on enough area to represent the finished door or furniture group. | Retain the actual leaf selection and coated reference. Request a beech slip-match trial |
| Numbered component sequenceIllustrative layout; select actual leaves and finished samples. | Map B01–B03 or your own group onto the elevation, with grain arrows, panel orientation, returns and selected spares. Leaf matching within each panel is specified separately. | Show the complete cabinet run before allocating pieces. Plan a numbered beech group |
Coordinate cabinet fronts
Try the beech face beside the actual lipping or edge band. Select the coated colour range and group the adjoining fronts on the drawing.
Build the face-edge sampleFinish both visible sides
Review the reverse face, open-door positions and exposed edges. Include the finish on each side of the freestanding component.
Plan the visible facesDevelop a machined part
Trial the routing, hinge recess or joint on the selected panel. Check the finished surface and fit with your actual tooling and hardware.

TRY THE DETAIL BEFORE YOU BUILD THE RANGE
Start with a free sample your workshop can finish.
Tell us the thickness, core and face arrangement you want to try, with the component and delivery country. Samples are free; buyers pay freight, with a credit towards a later order available by agreement.
- Select the visible woodCompare representative beech faces and the intended reverse face. Include the actual lipping or edging when the joint is part of the design.
- Make the furniture detailCut and machine the trial with your production method. Apply the intended finish to both required faces and review the routed area, joint or recess.
- Choose the order referenceKeep the finished target and selected variation range with the drawing, construction and process. Use that set to discuss the quantity and next batch.
Include the complete door when size or mounting matters
A small swatch helps select the wood and coating. For a large door or divider, include the finished component dimensions, face treatments, hardware and mounting in the next trial. Review fit in the intended assembly, with the conditioning and observations recorded for that item.
FROM A FINISHED SAMPLE TO A USABLE FURNITURE PART
Evaluate the face, edge and fit together.
Use the worksheet with your trial component and appearance range. It gives purchasing and the workshop one reference for the selected panel, visible result and machining process.
| Check | Record during evaluation |
|---|---|
| Veneer & construction | Beech cut and range, panel and face thickness, core, bond requirements and reverse face. |
| Finished colour | Coated target, lighter/darker range, sheen, process references and viewing light. |
| Face-edge junction | Actual lipping or banding, joined finish sample, corner detail and visible repair appearance. |
| Machining & hardware | Routing depth, tooling, hinge or fastener detail, veneer condition and trial observations. |
| Component fit | Finished dimensions, treatments on both sides, conditioning, mounting and measured fit. |
| Groups & repeat | Matching groups, grain arrows, item and batch references, selected spares and packing labels. |
Review a face-edge difference with the joined sample
Compare the actual veneer and edging under the selected finish, with the grain orientation and viewing light held consistent. Discuss a revised material selection or finishing preparation on a trial piece. Carry the chosen junction and appearance range into the item drawing and order reference.

MATCHED GROUPS READY FOR YOUR WORKSHOP
Keep the selected faces protected and the groups easy to find.
Discuss face separation, edge protection and pack identification for the proposed beech panels. Where a furniture or room group is selected together, connect its pack reference to the cutting list and receiving schedule.
Regular production guidance is 10–15 days; shipping time is additional. Request an FOB quotation with the shipment port or CIF with the destination port, and share your target receiving date. Confirm the item and delivery schedule with the quotation.
Include your destination and receiving requirements, unloading method and any pack-size or weight limits. For labelled parts, choose a readable position that supports sorting and the next finishing operation. Use a grain-oriented cutting list and the receiving and storage guide with the group labels.
Connect receiving checks to the furniture groups
Compare quantities and labels with the item schedule, then record visible pack and face condition before cutting. Keep the group reference with any photographs or questions so the selected wood range can be traced to the affected items.
A LIGHT WOOD PALETTE FOR THE FURNITURE YOU MAKE
Bring warmth to the surfaces your customers live with.
Beech veneer brings a light wood direction to cabinet fronts, furniture sides and interior joinery. Build the look around the finished piece: a run of doors, a freestanding divider or a shelf beside its edging.
CUZI supplies beech veneer plywood in 3–30 mm with poplar, birch or eucalyptus cores. Choose single or double sided faces, with veneer matching available for adjoining components. Start with a free sample, then combine your selected beech panels with other items in one container.
Show us the furniture drawing, intended coating and surfaces that remain visible. We can discuss the face arrangement, construction and matching scope around that design, with the agreed details carried into your quotation.
Choose the beech look your collection needs.
Choose natural beech for its individual wood character, or specify a reconstructed beech-pattern surface around a selected decorative master. Compare both with the same coating, edge and viewing light; retain the proposed material identity with the chosen face.
Scroll horizontally to compare all columns.
| Face option | What belongs to the item | Compare it in your furniture |
|---|---|---|
| Natural beech veneer | Wood veneer from beech; identify the offered species/origin, cut, leaf arrangement and physical colour/character range. The decorative face and plywood core have separate identities. | Review a representative area under your intended finish. Request a natural beech face |
| Engineered beech-pattern veneer | Reconstituted wood veneer with a selected beech-look pattern; specify the pattern code, constituent wood identity, proposed gauge and lot reference. Identify its constituent wood separately from the selected beech-pattern face and plywood core. | Keep the pattern master and a finished working detail together. Compare an engineered beech pattern |
Compare cores on one component drawing.
Thickness is selected for the component design. The 18 mm requests below are a shared comparison starting point within the available range; use your own required thickness in the inquiry. Use the matched product data and complete component trial to evaluate shelf service, hardware and machining.
Scroll horizontally to compare all columns.
| Core option | Compare the complete construction | Trial the part you will make |
|---|---|---|
| Poplar core | 3–30 mm overall panel range. Quote the veneer schedule, core construction, bond, finished dimensions and measured mass for your selected item. | Bring the cut edge, joint and actual fittings into the same trial. Request a poplar-core beech trial |
| Birch core | 3–30 mm overall panel range. Beech remains the decorative face; birch identifies the specified inner veneers. Keep layer order and any other species with the construction. | Compare a visible layered edge and the complete hardware detail. Request a birch-core beech trial |
| Eucalyptus core | 3–30 mm overall panel range. Identify the complete lay-up and quoted dimensions; evaluate the finished component and relevant product data against your drawing. | Use the same cut, edge, joint and fitting criteria when comparing cores. Request a eucalyptus-core beech trial |
Order every face that enters the sight line.
Face veneer gauge is quoted separately from the 3–30 mm overall panel thickness. Ask for the offered face/reverse gauge and surface preparation, with the finished veneer remaining after calibration/sanding. Agree the routing and finish trial with the offered construction and preparation schedule.
Scroll horizontally to compare all columns.
| Visible arrangement | Put the reverse on the drawing | Request the matching sample |
|---|---|---|
| One main decorative face | Beech veneer on the viewing face; specify the back veneer/material, gauge, quality, preparation and finishing separately. Include the open-door sight line and finished edge. | Review the complete proposed front/back construction. Discuss a single-face furniture panel |
| Two visible decorative faces | Specify beech appearance, veneer gauge, leaf arrangement and coating for both faces. Mark the viewing direction, divider/end-panel edges and hardware on the component. | Try both faces and the adjoining edge in the same assembly. Request a two-sided beech trial |
Give the wood colour and grain a place in the design
Select a physical target alongside the lighter and darker pieces your design welcomes. Review them with the intended clear coat or stain, beside the actual edging and under the project lighting. For an introduction to how cutting changes the grain pattern, see Columbia Forest Products' veneer cuts guide. Include the selected cut and matching arrangement in your inquiry.
CABINET FRONTS, OPEN FURNITURE AND INTERIOR WOODWORK
Make the face selection follow the way the piece is seen.
| Cabinet fronts and fitted furniture | Group adjoining doors, drawer fronts and end panels. Review the complete coated face-to-edge detail, with the grain direction shown on the cutting list. Plan a cabinet-front sample |
|---|---|
| Two-sided furniture and dividers | Mark both viewing directions, open-door positions and visible edges. Set the face requirement for each surface seen after assembly. Plan a divider sample |
| Interior joinery and display units | Include shaped edges, recesses, shelf joints and adjacent trim in the trial. Select the appearance range at the scale of the completed installation. Plan a joinery finish trial |
Explore the wider natural veneer range when comparing wood character. For a different warm-toned face, use the Sapele matching guide with the same furniture drawing and intended finish.
A BEECH CABINET RUN WITH AN OPEN DIVIDER
Give each visible face its place in the order.
A room combines adjoining cabinet fronts with a divider seen from both sides. Start with a finished beech face and actual edging, then choose the target and natural variation range for the room.
Group the adjoining fronts on the elevation and mark their grain direction. Show both faces of the divider, its exposed edges and the coating required on each surface. Use the selected core and full component dimensions when preparing the machining and assembly trial.
Use illustrative front references B01, B02 and B03 for the cabinet run, and D01 for the divider. Give D01 its own front/back appearance and edge schedule; a cabinet sequence does not define the second visible face of the divider.
List the cabinet group and divider as distinct items in the same order. Keep the joined sample, appearance range and item drawings together for fabrication, selected spare pieces and repeat purchases.
Check the view with the doors open
Mark interior side panels, door backs and edge details that enter the sight line. Give those surfaces their own appearance requirement on the drawing before agreeing the single or double sided panel schedule.
YOUR FURNITURE RANGE IN THE NEXT MIXED CONTAINER
Bring the panels your business uses into one order.
Orders start at one container, with mixed loads available. List each beech item by thickness, core, faces, size and quantity, alongside the other plywood or MDF your workshop buys.
Furniture and cabinet manufacturers
Connect the sample to a repeatable furniture item. Identify matching door groups, the reverse faces and the machining details that affect yield. When the collection returns for another batch, quote against the retained construction, coated range and drawing.
Joinery buyers and panel distributors
Separate full-sheet items from project-specific component groups. Show which panels will be assembled beside each other, with the quantities and selected spares for that installation. Keep those groups identifiable when the order is received and sorted.
Compare offers using the same usable component
Put the selected face arrangement, core, veneer thickness, finish preparation and matching scope on each inquiry. Include cutting allowance, visible edge treatment and group quantities. This gives the panel price a clear relationship to the furniture part you will manufacture.
YOUR BEECH PANEL QUESTIONS
Choose with the finished furniture in mind.
Which thicknesses and cores can you supply?
Beech veneer plywood is available in 3–30 mm with poplar, birch or eucalyptus cores. Specify the thickness and construction for your component, with the required tolerances and bond in the inquiry.
Can I order single or double sided panels?
Both arrangements are available. Mark the surfaces seen after assembly, including door backs, open shelving and two-sided dividers, and identify the reverse-face requirement for each item.
Is veneer matching available for adjoining doors?
Yes. Send the layout, grain direction and group quantities with a physical appearance range. Confirm the matching arrangement for the selected veneer and connect it to the item schedule.
Which sheet sizes should I start with?
Regular formats are 1220 × 2440, 1250 × 2500 and 1525 × 3050 mm. Formats including 1220 × 3050 and 1250 × 3660 mm, plus specified cut components, can be requested with your inquiry.
Can I compare the veneer with solid beech edging?
Include the actual lipping or banding in a joined trial piece. Review both materials with your intended coating and sheen, then select the relationship you want in the finished furniture.
How should I trial routing or hinge recesses?
Provide the component detail, face veneer requirement and machining method. Try the selected panel with your tooling and hardware, then record the finished surface and fit using the worksheet.
Should both sides have the same visual grade?
Choose the face requirement by visibility. A hidden cabinet back and a divider seen from both sides have different design needs; show those surfaces on the item drawing.
When is birch worth comparing?
Compare birch plywood when a layered edge, CNC detail or different light wood appearance is central to the design. Use finished samples of the proposed constructions to select the panel for that item.
Can I mix beech panels with other products?
Yes. The minimum order is one container and mixed loads are available. List quantities by product, size and construction, with any selected matching groups identified separately.
How do samples and quotation terms work?
Samples are free with buyer-paid freight; a freight credit towards a later order can be agreed. Quotations can be FOB or CIF. Name the shipment or destination port, quantity and target receiving date.
How do I prepare a repeat furniture order?
Use the retained finished range, construction and drawing for the item. Identify any changed veneer, edging, hardware or finishing process in the new inquiry so the proposed panel can be reviewed with the same complete reference.
How do natural and engineered beech surfaces differ?
Natural beech veneer identifies the wood face. Engineered or reconstituted beech-pattern veneer identifies a reconstructed decorative pattern; ask for the constituent material and pattern code. Compare the actual beech-pattern sample with your finished master instead of assuming both descriptions identify the same wood.
What face veneer thickness should I put on the order?
State your required gauge with the intended sanding, routing and coating. CUZI quotes the offered front/reverse veneer gauges and preparation separately from total panel thickness. Request the veneer gauge and construction information, then evaluate the finished detail on that panel.
Is book matching the same as a numbered panel sequence?
No. Book matching describes the alternating leaf-face arrangement at veneer joints; a sequence describes where panels/components go on the elevation. Include both where needed, with the grain arrows and spare pieces. Try the actual adjoining leaves under the selected finish and light.
Will another batch look exactly like the retained sample?
Use the retained target, selected appearance range and pattern/veneer identity for the new inquiry. Review proposed changes and adjoining pieces before grouping new and retained parts together. Quote the repeat group with its drawings, finish and spare requirements.
Does a beech face mean every inner veneer is beech?
The supplied range separates the beech decorative face from poplar, birch or eucalyptus core options. Specify the full veneer schedule rather than inferring inner species from the surface. Use the proposed panel data for the selected construction.
Is beech faced plywood the same as all-beech plywood?
Beech faced plywood uses beech for the decorative veneer; its internal plies are specified separately. CUZI offers poplar, birch or eucalyptus cores for this range. Include both face and core in your inquiry.
LET'S BUILD YOUR NEXT BEECH PANEL ORDER
