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.
