Our selection of European larch veneer in this category has been carefully fumed to darken the wood and bring out the contrast in the grain. This veneer is often under-appreciated in the US, but take a good look at the grain and you'll see its beauty. It does appear to be in fairly high demand for high-end speakers and amplifier cabinets. There are no other veneers that mimic the look of fumed larch!
