Often subtle, the grain lines in our laurel burl wood veneer sheets make it a perfect complement to darker solid wood furniture projects. We've seen projects with laurel burl accents and panels used in conjunction within wenge, walnut, and cherry. The results are always outstanding and it's amazing to see such an understated veneer used to take a project to a whole new level.
