I've never understood why this species in burl veneer has been so under-recognized. The colors in pepperwood veneer (Pimiento) are outstanding. Where else can you find bright pink, brilliant red, and random dark "veins" in a single sheet? Combine this veneer with walnut or wenge and you'll end up with a gorgeous project. Be aware that pepperwood veneer will have small voids that require grain filling, but that bit of extra work is worth the result!
