V123 – CHESTNUT 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.

The wood can be easily worked with all tools. The knife edges are not damaged by mineral deposits. But, Drying must be controlled very carefully and evenly, as the wood tends to warp and crack easily.

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.

Veneer wood, sliced ​​wood for face and interior veneers, and rotary cut wood for plywood panels. Used more as interior veneer in the furniture industry.
