Manufacturing exotic veneered panels is one of our specialties. These are particularly ideal for specific projects where originality is required using the best quality materials, including their varieties (pommele, quilted etc). We produce bookmatched/slipmatched jointed panels with standard measures or cut to size for every single project. We can produce from small panels to large panels to overlay large surface areas. We work with architects or designers, offering them the best solutions while always respecting their project concept.
SPALTED/AMBROSIA Dark lines often caused by fungus or insects; very rare in veneer form
CURLY Cross-grain ripples of shimmer where cell orientation is uneven
BURL The most sought after figure; burls have circles of random cell growth
BIRDS EYE Dots of dense wood cells typically found in maple but can occur in others
CROTCH Very high shimmer wood; sliced where the tree has forked in two directions
MOTTLED Angular rays of shimmer with sharp edges; highly iridescent and creates a bold statement
POMMELE Resembles rain drops cascading down a window; has a very eye catching effect when finished
BLISTERED Similar to pommele but with a slightly larger figure and marginally less shimmer; common in sapele, rare in other woods
QUARTERSAWN (Type of cut) Sliced to yield a very straight grain; some veneer species such as oak show shimmering flecks of light
FLAT CUT This traditional cut creates a "cathedral" grain which is often compared to the look of solid lumber
