Characteristics of Wood Veneer
Natural wood veneers showcase the unique character and diverse features of each species.
Every sheet reflects the individuality of the original tree.
Cracks – Natural splits that may occur during drying or slicing.
Pinholes – Small holes from natural growth or insects.
Wormholes – Evidence of past insect activity.
Discoloration – Natural changes in wood color due to sunlight or age.
Snippets – Small chips or broken areas.
Burn Marks – Caused during slicing or pressing.
Cuts – Thin slicing scars or marks.
Mineral Streaks – Naturally occurring dark streaks caused by mineral deposits.
Scratches – Surface abrasions during processing.
Ibari – Tension-related warping or bending in the veneer.
Open Winter Grain – Visible rings due to slower winter growth.
Leaf Nodes – Natural nodes from where leaves grew.
Pebbles (Calcareous Material) – Inclusions of natural mineral matter.
Shirata (Sapwood) – The lighter outer area of the log.
Grass Worm Traces – Traces of small grass-feeding insects.
These natural features are not flaws, but rather an essential part of the charm and character of real wood veneer.
