 * Note: veneer suggests all veneers are wood. Is that right? WurdSnatcher (talk)
 * No, it's not. The OED says "or other suitable material".  I've adjusted the entry at veneer.   D b f  i  r  s   21:17, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Wood precedes veneer 38/196 times at COCA. Types of wood are very common, but other materials include metal, stone (several types), brick, gossamer (figurative?), as well as figurative terms.
 * So wood veneer is not a pleonasm.
 * Delete. As there are 60 other nouns that precede veneer at COCA in 80% of the usages, it seems to occur in free combination. That most of those nouns are types of wood is of practical interest, but has little lexicographic force. DCDuring TALK  00:20, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
