RV142-TAN YELLOW OAK

The wood can be easily worked with all tools. The knife edges are not damaged by mineral deposits. But, Drying must be controlled very carefully and evenly, as the wood tends to warp and crack easily.

It is used in the craft of carvers and sculptors. It is also very important as veneer and solid wood and in the construction of musical instruments (e.g. wind, plucked, and string instruments). 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. Since each trunk has a different pattern, the products made with them are extremely individual and unique.

High-quality interior fittings and series furniture, paneling, and parquet. Also well suited for musical instruments. Despite its hardness, the wood is relatively easy to work with. However, the use of carbide-tipped tools is recommended.

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.
