Specifying Wood Veneer

The importance of flitch identification within your project specification.

The beauty of nature is that she does not repeat herself. As you walk through a forest and compare trees of the same species, one can already see variations in length, diameter, and the health of the bark. When the trees are produced into veneer the variations expand even further into the color, figure and grain structure. That is the beauty of natural wood, no two trees are exactly alike. Which is why flitch identification is so important in your project specification. Having an assigned flitch number guarantees that you will receive the product you selected. Assuring you will achieve the desired product.
