Eucalyptus veneer is most often found in burl and curly figures. A clear coat of oil-based polyurethane on a curly eucalyptus wood veneer sheet looks absolutely incredible. We have a nice selection of this species here and it is one of our top selling veneers. It is an excellent companion wood with walnut, red oak, and cherry. Curly figured eucalyptus is a highly prized veneer for architectural woodwork and has become very popular in the US, Asia, and Great Britain.
