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.

Characteristic and wood color
Sapwood and heartwood are only slightly different. The sapwood is narrow, yellowish or reddish, while the heartwood is pale brown to reddish when freshly cut, later darkening to reddish brown. Sometimes the wood is striped or flamed and therefore very decorative, in quarter cut it has a beautiful silvery sheen, while narrow mirrors make it somewhat reminiscent of maple. Growth zones are clearly visible. The wood is straight grained throughout with a fine and even texture.
