Spanish Cedar (Cedrela oderata) comes from Central and South America. This veneer has colors that range from pink to reddish brown, with darker latewood (outer edge of the tree) lines. Spanish Cedar Veneer is a very even toned wood. This veneer also has the classic scent associated with Cedar wood. It can be used as a substitute for Mahogany having a similar appearance and texture (but not aroma). This tropical hardwood stains well, and polishes to an attractive luster. Other names for Spanish Cedar include Cigar-box Cedar, West Indian Cedar, and South American Cedar.
Spanish Cedar Veneer is available in standard grade 4’x8’ sheets. Cedar Veneer is available with a choice of backers including 10 mil, 22.2 mil (BFV-Bubble Free Veneer), and special order Peel and Stick (PSA).
