Olive Ash Burl Veneer, Ropey Cherry Veneer, Madrone Veneer, Brazillian Cherry Veneer, and Macassar Ebony Veneer

Interesting Rare Choices in Wood Veneer

Olive Ash Burl Veneer - This is a stunning burl with brown lines overlaying a quilted wild burl pattern, and it's pictured is on your left. It has a two-tone look that can make very pleasing patterns in many types of projects. Alternatively, white ash burl has only one color and therefore a much more subdued overall look. Both Olive Ash Burl Veneer and White Ash Burl Veneer are from the same tree.

Ropey Cherry Veneer - When you're looking for a single-toned cherry color veneer with a little more pizazz, Ropey Cherry Veneer might be just what you need. The figure has a twisting, wavy effect, that uncoincidentally looks like a rope.

Madrone Veneer - Madrone is sometimes called Faux Pearwood because of its reddish-brown color. The difference is that it doesn't have any figure like pearwood does. Madrone Veneer comes in flat-cut or quartered, and also as Madrone Burl Veneer, one of the nicest burls available which has a very sophisticated and yet understated pattern.

Brazillian Cherry Veneer - This is a wood that is often used in high end flooring. It is the same species as Jatoba Veneer. Many furniture and cabinet makers make use of Brazilian Cherry. It has dark brown streaks over a salmon red to orange brown main tone. This is a very strong wood, and some say it is similar to Mahogany Veneer.

Macassar Ebony - This is a very dark-brown to black wood with lighter streaks of grey-brown, yellow-brown or pale-brown. It's the most widely used wood of all the ebony woods, and it has a wide range of uses including musical instruments, tool handles, and much more. This is one veneer that is difficult to match based on the streak patterns.
