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, this isn't a precise parallel clipping, and some veneers may have kept the tree's decreasing shape, wider at the bottom end and narrower at the top end.
Some veneers' 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:
Botanic name: Acer Pseudoplatanus.
Sycamore maple, or European maple, is a hardwood sometimes called "white," but its color is slightly ivory.
Unlike its cousin, the North American maple, it does not have sugar hair. On the other hand, the 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 valuable hardwoods, especially in its figured form.
Sycamore is used in cabinetmaking and decoration.
Figured Sycamore is best known for its use in violin and cello Lutherie; Figured Sycamore is so involved in violin production that when a Sycomore is strongly figured, it takes the name of "Fiddled-back Sycamore."
This figured wood has a unique aestheticism and a much sought-after tone for violins and cellos.
Figured Sycamore is a rare and precious wood.
Sycamore is called "Plain" when it is not Figured. However, the Plain Sycamore can have some flames here and there, and it can also have a very light figure called a "Shadow figure," which is not marked enough to be considered figured wood.
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 1 or 2 coats with a colorless polyurethane varnish (cleaning the tools with white spirit/acetone).
Packing:
Veneers are rolled and well protected in a strong carton chosen to withstand some vigorous handling to be delivered in good condition.
