Why would you use veneer for a project rather than solid timber?
There are two primary reasons for the use of veneer in a woodworking project: strength and price. In the matter of strength, most veneered wood is a form of plywood. Plywood comes in a variety of strands (plys), from three-ply to laminated products of 20, 50, or 100+. The greater the ply, the stronger the product due to the cross-biased construction. As far as price, the cost of a piece of plywood with a rare wood face such as mahogany or rosewood is vastly lower than a piece of solid lumber. The face being 1/64th to 1/16th inch thick will show the same beautiful grain as a solid piece for a fraction of the cost, and the workability of plywood is negligibly the same as a solid piece of lumber.

Try a search engine or the library. Some books have good photos. Slow growth means the rings are close together.

Is spf lumber better than syp lumber?
It is a grad for lumber, but the more important grading is the number it will be SPF number 1 or 2. 2 is the more common grade used for construction etc. Most of your big box stores carry 2 because it is cheaper. The SPF is also so the manufacturer does not have to keep lumber separated by species. Spruce Pine and Fur all are about the same quality and strength.
