V002 – RED OAK CROWN

Pale pink to dark heartwood, quickly darkening to reddish brown. Aboudikro, which mainly comes from the Ivory Coast, is generally darker than wood from other growing areas. Blocks with numerous bark galls, color defects or water cracks are not suitable for veneer production.

Veneer wood, exclusively as front veneer in the furniture industry (main countries: Great Britain, USA), in interior design, and the piano industry. Lengths usually up to 1.50 m.

African Teak Veneer is highly durable, with excellent resistance to decay and insect attacks, including termites. It is known for its stability and strength, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

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.
