V029 – KOTO VENEER

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.

Great demand for closely striped blocks with a center diameter of 1 m and above.

Burma Teak Veneer Quarter is renowned for its golden to medium brown color with a straight, smooth grain and a natural luster. It is easy to machine and finishes well, making it ideal for a variety of applications. Proper surface preparation ensures excellent gluing results.

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.
