Blackbutt veneer is also known as New South Wales Blackbutt and Coastal Blackbutt. It is one of the most versatile varieties of hardwood, and is mid-brown in colour. This sustainable natural wood veneer is usually slip matched, so that adjoining surfaces have a repeating grain figure, but joints do not show a grain match. Blackbutt can also be book matched, so that adjoining surfaces have close to the same appearance but are mirrored. Quarter cut veneers are made by cutting a log into quarters before slicing each quarter at right angles to the growth rings. This results in a veneer with a uniform lined vertical grain for a contemporary finish.
Timber veneers are also environmentally friendly. Not only is wood a recyclable and renewable material, but using veneers also extends the use of a piece of timber compared to using one solid piece. Cabinet Timbers Blackbutt timber is responsibly sourced from local forests. Our range of timber veneers are stocked in our Melbourne warehouse.
