V018 – BIRDS EYE MAPLE
Tiny knots in the grain resemble small bird’s eyes.
The figure is reportedly caused by unfavorable growing conditions for the tree.
The tree attempts to start numerous new buds to get more sunlight, but with poor growing conditions the new shoots are aborted, and afterward, some tiny knots remain.

V016 – ROSE WOOD CROWN
The heartwood is yellowish, irregularly veined with reddish veins, striped or spotted, and fades when exposed to light and air, but is nevertheless very decorative.
Due to the small diameter, it is often flawed and has cracks in the heart, so it is only suitable for small furniture and inlaid furniture, and rarely for interior design.
V022 – WHITE OAK CROWN
White oak is universally applicable in all areas of the wood-using industry because it is very resistant to external influences.
It is highly valued in the veneer and sawn timber sector due to its expressive structure.
In the USA it is of great importance as barrel wood (whiskey).
It is used as veneer and sawn timber in all areas of the furniture, door, and panel industry as well as the parquet and staircase industry.
V034 – EUCALYPTUS
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.
