V032 – BEECH BACKING
Veneer wood has large dimensions compared to other European woods (60 cm diameter and more),
furniture and parquet wood, chipboard, excellent bending wood (seating furniture), well suited for workbenches, good construction wood.
One of the most common woods in Europe is produced as a veneer in steamed, white, and old white. Since the mid-1990s, beech has been a distinctly fashionable wood in the veneer and solid wood sector.
V033 – LACEWOOD
Has a very conspicuous flecking that gives this wood its namesake.
The wood itself is a reddish brown with grey or light brown rays, which result in a lace pattern when quartersawn.
Like other woods that exhibit the strongest figure in quartersawn pieces, (such as Sycamore),
Lacewood has the most pronounced figure and displays the largest flecks when perfectly quartersawn;
this is due to the wood’s wide medullary rays, whose layout can be seen the clearest when looking at the end grain.
V034 – EUCALYPTUS
In its simple form – cf. Eucalyptus Pommele, Eucalyptus Riegel – it is rarely used as a front veneer, mostly as a side and interior veneer, because the wood is not very expressive.
In addition to veneer production, eucalyptus is used for ship and vehicle construction, for railway sleepers, and as plantation wood, mainly for paper production.
V042 – ANIGRE
Veneer wood is mostly used as interior veneer in Central Europe; if used as front veneer, then as cherry substitute wood. In Southern Europe more often used as a front veneer for series furniture.
Also used in North America for high-quality interior design purposes, but mostly in the planned form.
Special wood for printing and dyeing. In Italy, Spain, and Greece, walnut sapwood substitutes for wood.
Also used for the production of fineline veneers.
V045 – ROUGH CUT VENEER QUARTER
Due to the strong mixing of the individual species, the color spectrum is broad, from light yellow to dark brown.
Variations to pink are also possible. So-called minerals, dark colorations that appear as clearly defined spots on the surface, are common. In wet wood, blueing is possible due to contact with metal.
