Character / Color:
Nature's true artistry shows itself in veneer produced – with great effort – from the crotch or curl of a tree. A good example of such veneer comes from the South American hardwood Cerejeira. In this case, the beauty of the double cross-grain wood with clearly defined vessels is revealed in vivid pyramid-like figures which unfold as fireworks of light and dark contrasts and give an exquisite note to the grayish white to amber-colored wood.
