V122 – OLIVE ASH BURL

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.

One of the most common furniture woods in the USA. In recent years, hard maple has also gained a foothold in Europe as a furniture wood, especially as a "replacement wood" for pear, alder or maple in unsteamed white or muted pink tones. Due to its abrasion resistance, it is also used as a hard-wearing parquet wood in gymnasiums, etc. Turned as spools, shuttles, or billiard cues.

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.
