Veneering
VENEE'RING, participle present tense Inlaying; adorning with inlaid work.
VENEE'RING, noun The act or art of inlaying, of which there are two kinds; one, which is the most common, consists in making compartments of different woods; the other consists in making representations of flowers, birds and other figures. The first is more properly veneering; the last is marquetry.
