RV029-WALNUT LIME DARK

Pale pink to dark heartwood, quickly darkening to reddish brown. Aboudikro, which mainly comes from the Ivory Coast, is generally darker than wood from other growing areas. Blocks with numerous bark galls, color defects or water cracks are not suitable for veneer production.

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.

Walnut burl comes in many forms: from head veneer to half burl (cluster) to full burl, which is still one of the most expensive and sought-after veneers. Frequent cracks within the trunk.

Veneer wood has large dimensions compared to other European woods (60 cm diameter and more), furniture and parquet wood, chipboard, excellent bending wood (seating furniture), well suited for workbenches, good construction wood. One of the most common woods in Europe is produced as a veneer in steamed, white, and old white. Since the mid-1990s, beech has been a distinctly fashionable wood in the veneer and solid wood sector.
