- Lamination
- A laminate is a thin layer of material. Lamination can be useful to make curved shapes
from timber. The thin layers are glued and bent into shape. Timber can be bent a little
bit by steaming it, but laminating can achieve much larger bends. Lamination can
increase the strength of material such as plywood. Lamination is used to increase the
strength of wooden beams, for example Glulam and Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL).

- Veneer is a thin layer of wood, which means it can be more prone to
damage. Plywood is made of layers of veneer laminated together.
Veneer can be glued onto the surface of a cheaper material, such as
MDF, to make the surface look like more expensive wood. MDF can
be bought covered with hardwood veneer
