Natural wood comes in a wide range of colors, from almost-white maple to honey-colored pine and flame-red mahogany, all the way to the chocolate-brown of walnut. This natural material particularly presents its most beautiful side in the form of veneer. Surfaces laminated with fine veneer transform furniture, doors and wall coverings into exquisite one-of-a-kind items because the texture produced during the growth of each tree is unique. Plus, it’s not just flat surfaces that can be veneered – the process can also be used on curved chairs, in car dashboards or on luxury yachts.
While more than 60 types of wood are processed into veneers, by no means every tree is suitable for producing these wafer-thin layers of wood. Only about three out of every hundred trees meet the high requirements regarding desired color, attractive grain and flawless structure.
