V005 – SAPELE QUARTER

Paradoxically, red oak is sought after for use as front veneer in the furniture and door sector, as it is similar in color to white oak, i.e. light. Unlike white oak, it cannot be used as barrel wood because the pores are not clogged.

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.

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.

Most common species of tree in the world. Its subspecies are found from the Arctic Circle to the mountain regions in the tropics. The most used species for the production of veneer in central Europe are the common pine and in southern Europe the maritime pine.
