September 2019 WOM | Paldao wood veneer comes in a wide variety of colors. The quarter cut featured here has a stripey aesthetic and is light brown, almost tan, with darker streaks throughout. When flat cut, gray-brown heartwood shows with a hint of green and darker streaks. The grain is interlocked and is sometimes wavy.

These trees are found in southeast Asia, as well as on the islands of the southwest Pacific. They commonly grow to 120 feet with very high buttresses that may extend up to 20 feet! (Source: A Guide to Useful Woods of the World, Second Edition)

In addition to both flat and quarter cut wood veneer, we also carry Paldao in our lumber department – currently we have 8/4 FAS & BTR square-edge lumber and table tops! Contact us if you’d like to learn more about Paldao and how we can help you with your project and specifications.

Fun fact: Paldao was once viewed in awe in remote parts of the Phillipines. Read more from Wood Magazine about Paldao’s interesting history.

Visit us at our lumber warehouses—it’s all for a good cause and local paws.

July 2019 WOM | Louro Preto grows in Tropical, Central and South America and is especially common in Brazil. Its color ranges from a medium brown to a much richer brown. Dark and long black streaks show beautiful contrast. Over time, Louro Preto will darken, adding even more character to its handsome aesthetic. Because of similar grain patterns, it is a popular substitute for Brazilian Rosewood veneer. In fact, it is sometimes dyed red to further the visual similarities. Do you have an upcoming project requiring a classy and truly unique wood veneer? Send your inquiries to sales@mbveneer.com to learn what our knowledgeable sales team can do for you.

June 2019 WOM | Pippy Oak is made from European White Oak, a specie used across the board in woodworking. Its color ranges from a light yellow or brown. This veneer is known for having knots called scattered eyes, clusters, pepper, or “cat paws.” Because of these markings, Pippy Oak is commonly called cluster oak or cat’s paw oak. It has an especially rustic look that is both charming and warm while also unique and visually interesting. Where could you use Pippy Oak?
