AFRORMOSIA REALTEC WOOD

Figured Afrormosia Realtec quarter cut wood veneer is prized for its durability, stability, and natural luster. This veneer 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 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 veneer coupled with economical pricing and a large availability of inventory.

Common Uses for Figured Afrormosia Quarter Cut Wood Veneer: Because of its consistency, Realtec Afrormosia is ideal for large architectural projects, as well as for repeated and extended production.
