When selecting wood veneer, the figure plays a crucial role alongside with the color and species of wood. The figure refers to the distinctive surface patterns created by the wood's grain structure, which develops naturally during the tree's growth. These unique grain patterns add depth, character, and visual interest to the veneer, making each piece unique. Our wood veneer available in various patterns and many species to create unique appearance
Bird's Eye figure
Once considered as a defect, Wood veneer Bird's Eye figure is now highly prized for its unique appearance. Characterized by small, circular patterns resembling tiny eyes, this figure is most often found in maple. The uniform distribution of these "eyes" creates a mesmerizing, dotted surface that adds depth and intrigue to any piece.
Fiddleback figure
wood veneer Fiddleback figure features regular, parallel streaks running across the grain, creating a shimmering, three-dimensional effect. This highly sought-after figure is often found in maple and sycamore, with more uniform streaks commanding higher value. Fiddleback veneer is especially popular for musical instruments, particularly violin backs.
Curly Figure
Curly figure appears as undulating waves across the wood surface, caused by contortions in the grain direction. This type of figure reflects light differently across its surface, creating a dynamic, rippling effect that seems to shift as the viewing angle changes. Curly figure is commonly found in maple but can occur in various species.
Pommele figure
Pommele figure is characterized by a dense pattern of small, enveloping rings, that give the appearance of a blistered or quilted surface. This striking figure is typically found in large African tree species such as sapele, bubinga, and makore. The more uniform and pronounced the blistering, the more valuable the veneer.
Crotch figure
The crotch figure, cut from the junction where a tree's main branches meet the trunk, it creates a variety of dramatic patterns often described as flame, plume, or feather-like. The figure type is popular in mahogany and walnut, creating bold, eye-catching focal points in furniture and paneling.
Burl figure
Burl figure results from abnormal tree growths, producing swirling, intricate patterns around clusters of dormant buds or eyes. Highly valued for its rarity and beauty, burl veneer offers a unique, artistic quality that can elevate even the most mundane surfaces into stunning showpieces.
Quilted figure
Wood veneer Quilted figure is a highly sought-after, this unique pattern is produced by the uneven weaving of growth rings, resulting in a surface that appears bumpy or rippled. That wavy appearance seems to shimmer and move with changing light, creating a striking 3D effect that adds depth and visual interest.
Block Mottled Figure
Wood veneer block mottled figure is a variation of mottled grain that creates a distinctive checkerboard-like pattern across the wood surface. It is often found in mahogany, sapele, and Bubinga. The pattern is created by irregular grain growth, resulting in a surface that appears to have a series of small, interconnected blocks or squares.

Packing and Delivery
We understand the importance of your project and the value of the laminate sheets you order from us. That's why we've developed a meticulous shipping process to ensure that your laminate sheets arrive at your doorstep in perfect condition:
- Each laminate sheet is rolled around a sturdy 3-inch core, providing a solid structure that prevents bending or warping. To cushion the sheet and protect it from any potential impact during transit, we wrap it in foam. This foam layer acts as a shock absorber, ensuring that the laminate sheet remains undamaged even if the package is jostled or dropped.
- But we don't stop there. The foam-wrapped core is then placed inside a robust box, providing an additional layer of protection. This box is designed to withstand the rigors of shipping, ensuring that the laminate sheet inside remains secure and undamaged.
