DV020 – DYED EUCALYPTUS EU-AZ

Great demand for closely striped blocks with a center diameter of 1 m and above.

Walnut burl comes in many forms: from head veneer to half burl (cluster) to full burl, which is still one of the most expensive and sought-after veneers. Frequent cracks within the trunk.

Greater importance as rotary birch for the furniture and panel industry (popular wood for bedrooms in the 1950s); and table and chair production. Very popular firewood. In larger dimensions (rarely) also produced as knife birch. The majority of the knife-cut birch is "yellow birch" from the USA.

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.
