NoteThe real wood veneer sheets are layer-glued into a block and then sliced again into veneer sheets. This creates the fine and linear structure with the natural depth and lustre of the wood. The respective type of wood is always used, without changing the colour by bleaching or dyeing. Only the colour of the glue is sometimes changed.
Detailed Description
In favourable locations it grows to 50 m high with diameters up to 200 cm, but usually shorter and weaker. The shaft is well grown throughout, often twisted and knotless up to 15 m. The bark is thick, deeply cracked lengthwise and dark grey. The tree reaches a high age of several hundred years.

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.
