Goncalo Alves Wood Veneer

Goncalo Alves VeneerEven in its unfinished state and despite the somewhat coarse grain, it has a satin-like shimmer giving the illusion of having a lightly-lacquered surface. Few species have such a wild array of brown and red coloring. There is no need to stain it as it looks simply gorgeous with just a clear finish applied.

Our current stock consists of wide sheets with truly outstanding color.

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.
