In the veneer sector, Ebony is only used in the high-quality project, ship, and aircraft interior fittings due to its extravagant beauty and high price.

Very good veneer wood, exclusively sliced ​​wood for face veneer. Preferred as fitting wood in interior design and for furniture. Good and light qualities are constantly sought after but are becoming increasingly difficult to find due to the high demand. Also very sought after as sawn wood.

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.
