Bossé Cedar Wood Veneer

Bosse VeneerKnown for its aroma, which is very similar to Spanish cedar, Bossé  ('boss-say')can come in an array of grain types. Most of our Bossé wood veneer sheets have the highly sought-after quilted figuring. Very few veneers have this kind of chatoyance in the grain. The color is an excellent companion to a dark brown fine-grain veneer such as walnut.

Tip from Joe

I've found that cell phones and tablets display reasonably accurate colors of our veneer photos.
 
Rendering variations on some computer monitors can cause our pictures to appear different from the actual veneer.
