Harewood Wood Veneer

cat-hare-wood.jpgHarewood has a very uncommon silvery-gray color that is created by boiling curly English sycamore veneer in a solution of ferrous (iron) sulfate. We recently acquired a small amount of this gorgeous curly veneer and have all of our stock posted below. The process of treating large bundles of veneer with this chemical is expensive so only the most highly-figured quartersawn veneers are used.

  Silver Sycamore
Scientific Name:
   Acer Pseudoplatanus

   Sapindaceae

   Gray or silver

   Southwest Asia, Turkey, Northern Spain, France, and Ukraine

Did You Know:
  

In the 17th century, the roots of sycamore trees were treated with ferrous sulphate for several years to induce the gray coloring "naturally".

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.
