Remarkably Beautiful Figured Wood Veneer at Remarkably Moderate Prices

Often the mark of an elegant piece of wood is the figure. It can sometimes mean the difference between a good looking or an extraordinary looking project. But builders and designers sometimes shy away from using figured woods simply because they believe the budget won't allow for it.

This is why lately we have been highlighting fantastic, upscale looking woods that only land in the mid-priced range. Here are some medium to highly figured beautiful woods that you might find you can afford to enhance your next project:

Figured Anigre Veneer - Anigre generally comes in a range of colors, from a dark blond to a medium brown. It can be found with or without figure. Anigre Veneer is often used for architectural panels, cabinetry, and casework. At Oakwood, we stock both medium figure quartered anigre for just $3.99/sq. ft. for 10 mil and architectural anigre (highly figured) for just $7.84/sq ft with a bubble-free backing.

French Figured Ash Veneer - Ash also generally comes in a variety of colors, from blond to brown to blackened. However French Figured Ash is close to the blond color and has a very thin and understated but still quite noticeable figure. French Figured Ash is only $6.99 per square foot.

Avodire Veneer - Avodire is a light colored wood with a very interesting and unique-looking figure. This is often used in high end architectural panels, and can be a good idea for this purpose because it is usually similar looking from sheet to sheet. Avodire is only $5.69 per square foot.

Figured Bosse Veneer - Bosse is generally pale and pinkish, resembling mahogany. It therefore is often used in boat interiors. The figure in Figured Bosse is understated, however if a overstated figure is desired, Pommele Bosse is also available. Figured Bosse Veneer runs at just $6.99 per square foot, and Pommele Bosse is $7.99/sq. ft.

Curly Maple Veneer - Curly Maple can range from cream colored to reddish brown. It has scattered curls and sometimes blisters. Curly comes from flat cut trees as opposed to fiddleback maple which has figure over a quartered grain. Curly Maple Veneer comes in three grades, as does fiddleback. The medium figure is $3.99, the high figure is $5.99, and the premium is $7.99.
