The ancient art of cabinet making revives in the industrial Inlays. The BURLS Collection consists of 4 precious Walnut and Ash Burl panels. In the GRAFFITI Collection, TABU has developed 14 sophisticated models using Oak, Eucalyptus, Figured Sycamore, Bird’s Eye Maple, Birch and Tay. GRAFFITI: approx. 1260 x 3060mm BURLS: approx. 1260 x 3060mm
FLAT CUT. The veneer is characterised by flame or “cathedral” figure. It’s obtained when the cut is made tangentially to the direction of the growth rings. Cutting commences on the sapwood side of the log.
QUARTER CUT. The veneer is obtained by quarter slicing a portion (1/4, 1/3) of a log. The cut is radial, perpendicular to the annual growth rings: the result is a striped veneer with vertical grain in the direction of the fiber.
ROTARY CUT. Veneer is cut on a lathe which rotates a log, chucked in the centre, against a knife fixed over the whole length of the log and set into it at a slight angle. The result is a veneer with a “wave” structure, without a precise and repeatable figure.
DYED VENEER. Natural dyed veneers of all types of wood species are dyed throughout the whole thickness.
MW - MULTILAMINAR WOODS. The multilaminar wood is composed of several “sheets” that, after being individually dyed, are assembled so as to obtain veritable solid woods from which the veneers will be then sliced.
FLEECED BACK VENEER BY SHEET. The jointed-sheet is fleeced back on non-woven-tissue or on paper (both available in FSC®).
THREE-DIMENSIONAL WOOD SPECIES. Precious wood, gift of Nature, with three-dimensional fiber.
MW ECOZERO® - FORMALDEHYDE-FREE. ECOZERO MW veneers are manufactured using formaldehyde-free glues.
BIO2 Veneers in “smoke”, grey and brown tones, produced with a dyeing process repeatable over time without synthetic dyes.
