RV105-WALNUT QUARTER

Veneer wood. Only very good blocks are used as sliced ​​wood. Also rotary cut veneer, furniture, door industry, and construction wood.

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.

Greater importance as rotary birch for the furniture and panel industry (popular wood for bedrooms in the 1950s); and table and chair production. Very popular firewood. In larger dimensions (rarely) also produced as knife birch. The majority of the knife-cut birch is "yellow birch" from the USA.

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.
