This image represents a finished sample approximately 600mm wide. The appearance of the veneer your screen, on a sample and that used in a project may differ from each other, because wood is a natural product and may vary in appearance from log to log and within a log. Veneer may have natural features such as pin knots, gum, figure, mild-indentations, slanted/curved direction of grain, paling-fence-effect, different leaf widths, off-centred crowns etc., and manufacturing features such as join lines and knife-rub-marks. These are not defects but intrinsic features of natural wood veneer and its processing.

This sustainable natural wood veneer has all the beauty and warmth that can only come from using real wood. The uniqueness of each log means that every project has its own special appeal, yet at the same time you can have the confidence that the forests where the veneer came from are being sustainably regrown to give a continuing supply in perpetuity. Suitable for all low wear and dry vertical interior applications such as furniture and panelling. The appearance of this veneer may vary because wood is a natural product. It may have natural features such as pin knots and figure. |
