Enhancing Nature
These natural veneers have added colour and texture, providing a range of aesthetic and practical benefits.
Rough Cut Veneers
Rough cut veneers retain the honesty and feel of raw timber, but in a practical, workable format. The distinctive cross-hatched surface adds visual depth and a tactile dimension to interior surfaces, creating a handcrafted look which feels both organic and contemporary.
Available in both natural and dyed variants, these veneers are processed using a profiled cutting blade to produce a natural rough sawn effect, akin to unfinished planks of wood, though in veneer thicknesses. The textural interest makes this veneer a great choice for a natural, rustic effect.
Smoked Veneers
Smoked or ‘fumed’ veneers are all about richness and depth. The fuming process involves exposing the wood to ammonia which emphasises the natural contrast within the wood, enhancing grain structure and developing warm, rich colour tones from caramel to deep brown without the need for surface staining.
The process adds some interesting definition to the grain, particularly in crown cut veneers where lighter streaks develop in the heartwood. This is especially effective in species like Oak, Walnut and Larch, where the variation in heartwood and sapwood creates beautiful tonal shifts.
With their sophisticated finish, smoked veneers are perfect for high-end residential joinery, hospitality and commercial interiors and statement furniture pieces.
