When deciding on a wood veneer, a lot of people start sifting through the woods that immediately come to mind, like oak, maple, cherry, mahogany, etc. But today, more and more people are trying to do their own thing, add a little individuality to their choices. For this reason, today we will be highlighting unusual wood veneers. Here are four woods that you might want to add to your list:
Bamboo Veneer: This is certainly unusual, as it is the only wood veneer species that is not truly made of wood. Rather, it is a ultra-fast growing grass-like species that does have a wood-like tone when cut into veneer sheets.
Bamboo Veneer has an exotic flavor that goes great in any location trying to go for a hip, urban, or Asian feel.
Ipe Veneer: Also known as Ironwood Veneer, Ipe is one of the darkest woods available with minimal grain. On it's own Ipe Veneer might not seem interesting enough, however it can be combined with many types of lighter woods in various patterns for a very interesting visual effect.
Paldao Veneer or
Oriental Wood Veneer: These are two different names for the same veneer. A third name (still the same) is Australian Walnut Veneer, however it is not truly a walnut species.
Orientalwood Veneer or
Paldao Veneer is a very nice deep brown with multi-shade grain lines ranging from black to tan.
Pecan Veneer: Most two-tone woods have a rustic or old-fashioned feel to them. Pecan, which comes in both two-tone and premium-single tone varieties, looks more modern in comparison. The two-tone version has dark main grain pattern, and stripes of tan in somewhat regular intervals. Single tone
Pecan Veneer is pale to tan with a nice grain that you have to look close to see.
