Tamo is distinguished by its pommele grain, a very aesthetic rarity.

Tamo is a Japanese name meaning "tree of wisdom". It refers to a Pommele Ash.

Tamo is generally a Gray Ash, typically found from the Ural Mountains to Japan.

In Japan, around 1920, Tamo was first used as a sliced veneer to cover the face of getas (traditional Japanese clogs).

It has been imported into Europe since the end of the 19th century. It has been used for Art Deco furniture.

Popularized in the West for manufacturing high-end furniture between 1930 and 1950, it has since been highly sought after for decorative purposes and electric guitar construction.

But here, this veneer is a European "White" Ash with a brown heart. It has a very marked pommele character.

From a historical point of view, this Pommele Ash was used on 17th-century German furniture. It was from Hungary.

Product Description:

Genuine wood-sliced veneer sheets.

These veneers are raw without a finish or any fleece back.

The veneer surface is similar to plane wood. However, it will be preferable to forecast a light sanding after gluing.

The veneers are offered here as wood-sliced sheets of one and unique thickness.

Both faces of these veneers are the same, without fleece back or glue.

Even if the veneer's sides had been cut relatively straight, it isn't a precise parallel clipping; some veneers may have kept the decreasing shape of the tree, wider at the bottom end and narrower at the top end.

Very occasionally, some veneer's sides have traces of unclipped wane, but our veneers are measured at the narrowest, as explained in the paragraph "Dimensions."

As genuine natural wood, all finishing products are acceptable as long these products are meant to be used for wood.

The choice of the finished product must be consistent with the final usage realization.
