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 not sharply separated. The sapwood is narrow and slightly paler than the heartwood, which is brownish with a reddish tinge. It darkens only slightly. It is ring-porous just like the European oak and the annual rings are very clear. The structure is generally straight and dense, the texture is medium coarse and even.
