  • Varying degrees of figure in Anegre are quite common from a light shimmer to a strong fiddleback.
  • Anegre Logs are quite small so the straight grain can be quite narrow in width. A figured quartering log is quite rare and would be used for a high quality paneling.

Figured Willow Veneer Sapele Pommele Veneer Tamo ash veneer
  • This European specie is fast growing and will grow just about anywhere. 
  • Most often it has a rather bland grain, but occasionally it can have a very attractive figure.
  • RELIANCE VENEER hold good stocks in both door and panel length.
  • The French word Pommele is derived from the word Pomme, translated into English as apple.It is meant to describe the apple shaped effect of the figure. A heavily Pommeled log will show a three dimensional effect of the veneer to create a truly unique and dense pattern.
  • Logs originate from the West Coast of Africa and can Pommele logs can be very large
