Veneer White Oak 0.75 mm

The American white oak has a darker and denser wood than the red oak. The grain is often irregular and cross-grained. In addition, beautiful veining gives the light yellow to medium or dark brown coloured wood a decorative touch. This decorative note is underlined by the large, broad wood rays, which can be recognised as lively mirrors or spindles.
