Kingwood is a precious wood, so precious and expensive that during the 17th century, it took the name of Prince Wood.

It also took the name Violetwood due to its color when the wood is freshly cut. Its colors oxidizing in the open-air turn into brownish-orange tones. But during the 19th century, it finally took the name Kingwood to avoid misunderstanding with purpleheart wood.

Very appreciated in fine furniture, marquetry, and luthiery, its hardness brings an excellent finish.

Its structure and pattern remind Santos Rosewood (Santos being a substitute for Kingwood) but with a denser grain and a distinctly more elegant veining.

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 for wood usage.

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