NoteWhen smoking wood, the tannic acid present in the wood reacts with ammonia. At the end of the process, the ammonia is neutralized with sulfuric acid. This leaves a fertilizer, which is used in agriculture. After the smoking process the wood gets a durable, attractive and very light-stable dark color.
Since ammonia may still be bound in the cell walls of the smoked wood in isolated cases, it is recommended to allow the veneer sheets to air well (approx. 3 - 4 hours) after cutting them to width and before joining them together. This allows clean joint gluing without any problems.

Occurrence
The home of the Robinia is the southeastern part of the USA. In the meantime, however, this tree has been cultivated and naturalized in almost all parts of the world. Today the Robinia belongs to an important species of wood. Especially in Southern Europe the Robinia is found in large stands. - In Germany the Robinia is usually erroneously called "Acacia".
Characteristic and wood color
Sapwood and heartwood are not sharply separated. The sapwood is very narrow and yellowish, while the heartwood is greenish-yellow and matt shiny when freshly cut, soon darkening to a golden brown tone, very decorative due to sharply defined annual rings and a distinct grain and stripes.
