V006 – ZEBRANO

Sycamore works easily with both hand and machine tools, though the interlocked grain can be troublesome in surfacing and machining operations at times. Sycamore turns, glues, and finishes well. Responds poorly to steam bending.

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.

Highly decorative elements such as fillings or fronts in interior design and furniture construction. Maple burl often has bark intrusions, and healthy, large-area tubers are extremely rare and very expensive. They are practically always fully grained.

In its simple form – cf. Eucalyptus Pommele, Eucalyptus Riegel – it is rarely used as a front veneer, mostly as a side and interior veneer, because the wood is not very expressive. In addition to veneer production, eucalyptus is used for ship and vehicle construction, for railway sleepers, and as plantation wood, mainly for paper production.
