Quarter Cut Avodire Veneer

Avodire (Turraeanthus africanus) is a distinctive hardwood from tropical West Africa, valued for its radiant, golden-yellow hue and unique mottled figure. Our quarter-cut veneer highlights a straight, uniform grain pattern that provides excellent visual consistency across panels. This cutting method also enhances the dimensional stability of the veneer, making it a reliable choice for high-end applications.

Known for its fine texture and natural luster, Avodire veneer is exceptionally easy to work with. It accepts stains and finishes beautifully, allowing you to achieve a wide range of looks from a light, natural sheen to a deeper, richer tone. When book-matching panels, the straight grain of the quarter cut ensures a clean, seamless appearance. Its versatile aesthetic makes it a preferred material for luxury interior decoration, furniture, cabinetry, and detailed marquetry.

We are committed to responsible sourcing practices to ensure the long-term availability of this beautiful species.
