High-end/exotic looking. Thin slices of wood, typically glued onto core panels (particle boards or medium-density fiberboard) to produce flat panels such as doors, tops and panels for cabinets, parquet floors, parts of furniture, marquetry and beading. Also used in the interiors of automobiles and boats, as well as decorative designs on musical instruments.
Has a wavy, interlocked grain. Very durable and resistant to fungi and insects, as well as marine borers. The sapwood is easy to preserve but the heartwood is untreatable. Typically used outdoors - poles, bridges, beams, flooring and general housing.
