ANDIROBA WOOD

Andiroba flat cut wood veneer is a handsome medium to dark brown material that displays timeless cathedrals within its grain. Although Andiroba is not a part of the Mahogany family, this veneer is quite similar in appearance with its rich color, grain structure, natural luster, and occasional figuring that is prominent in many Mahoganies. Because of this, designers may consider this species as an economical Mahogany substitute for a wide range of projects calling on a warm and inviting, yet elegant, appearance.
