RV162-WHITE OAK QUARTER

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.

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.

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.

Highly decorative elements such as fillings or fronts in interior design and furniture construction. Maple burl often has bark intrusions, and healthy, large-area tubers are extremely rare and very expensive. They are practically always fully grained.
