Adriatic Blue Sycamore Dyed Veneers 50 x 22 cm

Deep-dyed Genuine wood-sliced veneer sheets.

Veneers in sequence.

The color:

"Adriatic blue" is a particular shade of blue highly valued for evoking the beauty and clarity of the Adriatic Sea.

This sea, bordering Italy, Croatia, Slovenia, Albania, Montenegro, and Bosnia and Herzegovina, is renowned for its crystal-clear waters with turquoise and deep blue tones.

It's a relatively light blue, often with a slight green tint, reminiscent of the color of seawater on a sunny day."

Dimensions:

Length: 50 cm.

Width: 22 cm.

Thickness: 0.6 mm.

Measurement scaling:

Dimensions are measured at the small end.

The width is rounded to the covered centimeter. For example, 15.8 cm is measured at 15 cm.
The length is rounded to 5 centimeters, for example. For example, 257 cm is measured at 255 cm.

Deep-dyed veneers:

Tinted in the mass, deep-dyed veneers allow sanding the veneers after gluing to keep the color.

After sanding, colors will be palish but regain full intensity after finishing.

We limit our environmental impact by using alimentary and natural dye products.

Our production is made in France, and the wood is grown and sliced in France.

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, and some veneers may have kept the decreasing shape of the tree, wider at the bottom end and narrower at the top end.

Some veneer sides occasionally have unclipped wane traces, 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 as they are meant for wood usage.

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

The Species:

Common names:

Sycamore, European maple, sycamore maple.

Botanical name:

Acer pseudoplatanus.

Origin:

The sycamore maple is the European maple found throughout Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia. It is one of the most common trees in Europe.

Appearance:

Sycamore is a hardwood called "white" but slightly ivory. Unlike its North American cousin, the sugar maple, it does not have "sugar hair." However, sycamore has small wood-colored pinknots; these pinknots are inevitable, and a sycamore without pinknots is extremely rare.

This forest species is one of the semi-precious hardwoods, but in its figured form (less than 1% of forest production), it becomes a precious wood.

Sycamore is called "plain" when it is not figured. However, plain sycamore can occasionally have flames; it can also have shadow figures, which are very light figures not marked enough to be considered figured wood.

Properties:

Weight: 615 to 650 Kg / m3, average weight at 10 - 12% humidity.

Janka hardness: 4680 Newton. For comparison, Oak is at 4980 N, and Poplar is at 1650 N.

Elasticity: 9.92 GigaPascal, for comparison: Ash 12.31 GPa and Poplar 9.75 GPa.

Uses:

Its natural beauty and strength make it a popular wood for furniture manufacturers, stairs, parquet floors, and paneling.

In instrument making: Luthiers particularly appreciate the veneers of flamed sycamore for its warm sound, especially for the making of violins, cellos, and double basses.

In decoration: Its light color and fine grain blend perfectly with various interior styles, bringing a touch of elegance and modernity.

Utilization:

Cutting:

Veneers can be easily cut with a utility knife.

For straight cuts, the best results are obtained with a veneer saw.

Use a fretsaw, scalpel, or veneer knife for curved cuts.

Always allow for a slightly larger veneer sheet than your intended surface. This will allow you to adjust the size after gluing for a clean finish.

A flush trimmer can also be used to trim the veneer after gluing.

When cutting with a utility knife or veneer knife, it is best to cut with the grain of the wood. To check this, run your finger along the edge of the sheet. The direction that feels smoothest is the ideal direction for cutting.

Gluing:

Several types of gluing are possible.

With vinylic glue, the veneer is pressed over its entire surface.

With neoprene glue, apply two coats of glue and marouflage for all surfaces, especially non-porous surfaces.

With animal glue such as hide, sinew, or bone glue.

With vinyl glue and an iron, apply two thin coats of glue to each piece. This technique should only be used if other gluing techniques are not possible.

Sanding:

Veneers and all our products are wood and can be sanded according to their thickness.

Regardless of the thickness of the veneer, please do not use a belt sander, as this could pierce it.

With a 0.6 mm veneer, lightly sand with 120 grit and then finish with 180 or 240 grit. With an orbital sander, 180 grit is already sufficient for most applications.

Finishing:

All finishing products generally used for wood are suitable for finishing our products. For example, you can use a varnish, wax, paint, or oil.

However, please ensure that the product you want to use is compatible with the final use of your creation.

Look at our TUTORIALS, and you might find some valuable tips.

Photos:

Pictures herewith are actual photos of the product you will receive.

Although we strive to take photos with a color as close to reality as possible, they are only photos whose hue may appear slightly different from reality; the screen on which the photos will be viewed also affects their appearance.

One of the photos shows the color of the wood after sanding and varnishing.

The sanding was done mechanically at 120 grit.

The varnishing is done in one or two coats with a colorless polyurethane varnish (cleaning the tools with white spirit or acetone).

Packing:

Veneers are rolled and well protected in a strong carton chosen to resist somewhat vigorous handling and delivered to you in good condition.
