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.

Occurrence
The teak tree has its origins in Southeast Asia and is widely distributed in Burma, India, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. But it can also be found in West Africa, Costa Rica and Brazil.
Characteristic and wood color
Sapwood and heartwood are well separated. The sapwood is light yellowish-grey and narrow. The heartwood has a fresh golden brown colour, later darkening to light to dark brown when exposed to air. It is often interspersed with darker, almost black veins and therefore very decorative.
