Ambrosia Maple Wood Veneer

Ambrosia MapleThese ambrosia maple wood veneer sheets have a unique and stunning pattern in the grain which is caused by the Ambrosia beetle which bores small homes into the tree and introduces two different fungi. The first fungus (called Ambrosia fungus) lines the walls of the tunnel bored by the bug and becomes its food. The second fungus is what creates the amazing colors in the grain.

Several customers have used this veneer to make custom lamp shades and the results were outstanding. The worm holes made a perforated look that allow random beams of light to shine through.

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.
