NoteFor veneers with a rough cut structure, we strongly recommend using a white glue.
If there is partial glue penetration, it can be brushed out at right angles to the grain after pressing. We recommend to veneer a few samples in advance to get a feeling for the ratio of glue application and pressing pressure.

Characteristic and wood color
Sapwood and heartwood are sharply separated. The sapwood is generally narrow and yellowish-white. As it is not weather-resistant, it has no economic significance and is removed before processing. The heartwood is greyish-yellow when freshly cut, later darkening to light to dark brown when exposed to air. Annual rings and growth zones are not clearly visible. The pores form an uninterrupted transverse zone in the early wood of the annual rings. Medullary rays broad and very clearly visible. They form unevenly sized and differently shaped "mirrors" in the quarter section, which are characteristic of oak. The structure varies according to location and age, usually straight to twisted, the texture also varies from fine to coarse.
