AFRORMOSIA REALTEC WOOD
Figured Afrormosia Realtec quarter cut wood veneer is prized for its durability, stability, and natural luster. This wood displays golden-brown hues along with continual figure—primarily the highly sought-after fiddleback figure and ribbon.
This consistent figure is the result from embossing the natural Afrormosia veneer—both the desired figure and color remain constant throughout large Realtec sequences. Architectural veneer logs that have the most valued natural figure—fiddleback—are very rare. Through the Realtec manufacturing process, designers, architects, and other project leaders have steady access to highly desired figured Afrormosia coupled with economical pricing.
Exclusive: M. Bohlke Veneer is the only distributor of Realtec in the United States and Canada.
