Veneer Species Selection

Veneer Species Labos

The veneering process begins with the veneer selection itself. In this phase, we ensure all the bundles will match in harmony according to their log origin and are then carefully selected to form uniform colour and shape. This allows the formation of beautiful and seamless natural wood patterns for any appropriate panel dimension.

Let's explore what species Labos has to offer!

Slicing Techniques

Three most popular slicing techniques which are available in any of our veneer species for your pleasure to create distinctive unique patterns.

Veneer Quarter Cut Technique Labos

Quarter Cut

This slicing technique is made perpendicular to the annual growth rings of the log. As a result, creating a straight grain effect.

Veneer Rift Cut Technique Labos

Rift Cut

A straight, thinner grain effect similar to true quarter cut veneer most commonly used in larger homogeneous applications.

Veneer Crown Cut Technique Labos

Crown Cut

It is achieved by slicing parallel to the center of the log, a "crown effect” is formed by the innermost growth rings. This crown effect enriches the natural wood character.

Splicing Techniques

Our splicing techniques serve our clients’ preferences best when it exposes all the possible variations and combinations for the most appropriate outcome.

European Oak Veneer Labos

Sanded

The area is cleaned by light sanding as preparation for final sanding by the customer and the application of other treatments such as varnishes, oils, etc.

Brushed Veneer Design Labos

Brushed

The brushing removes the soft parts of the wood. The hard areas remain. In this texture, structures, annual rings, knots and curly grain form a three-dimensional landscape.

Scratch Veneer Design Labos

Scratched

This texture offers a wild and rough surface due to the presence of scratches. The scratches fit perfectly to those final uses where the presence of natural wood and raw surfaces are required.

Rough Cut

The rough texture of the wood becomes visible and touchable on fine surfaces. Ideal for individual further processing. Abrasive sponges or brushes leave behind traces, enhance the texture and underline the character of the wood.
