A system and method of producing, large, very thin veneer patterns that can be used to decorate furniture such as table tops, flooring and interior decor or any other flat surface that show a plurality of wood end grain patterns. The process includes cutting a plurality of various diameter pieces of wood such as branches to expose the end grain. The pieces are then arranged in a holder with each piece sticking upward so that looking down, the end grain on each piece can be seen. The holder is then filled with a clear or pigmented resin and allowed to set. The hard resin slab is then removed and sawed in to very thin slices. Each thin slice is a desired veneer that can then be further glued onto a table top or the like. Symmetry patterns can be created by arranging veneers from subsequent layers side-by-side in various configurations.
