Oakwood Veneer’s Engineered Italian Ebony Veneer

In years past, engineered wood veneer has had a less-than-stellar reputation in regards to beauty and high-end acceptance. While it has always been made of real wood, the actual grain is enhanced to resemble known species. In some cases several years back, it didn’t really hit the mark. However, today’s engineered wood veneers are a thing of beauty, and they come quite close to being indistinguishable from the real thing. Oakwood Veneer has recently introduced what they call one of the finest high-end engineered wood veneers to date on the market, a brand new Italian macassar ebony design.
As shown in the picture, this new engineered Italian macassar ebony (left-side) has virtually the same color tone, grain lines, and overall visual appearance as the real macassar ebony sheet (right-side). Oakwood expects that its appearance will please even high-end interior designers who have a keen eye for subtleties.
While there are still reasons to purchase the real macassar ebony species (such as greater grain variations), Oakwood Veneer president Peter Rodgers explains that there are several reasons why purchasing engineered veneer makes sense as well. The first reason is that large jobs, which require several to dozens of sheets, can be easily matched across as many sheets as necessary. Another reason is that it is often difficult to find sheets of real ebony that meet design requirements such as no knots, straighter grain, and richer tone. The engineered Italian sheets have these qualities built in. And finally, the engineered veneers can come at a much lower price point, meaning a high-end ebony appearance can now be achieved on a much smaller budget.
