Ebony Veneer - Macassar Quartered

Macassar Ebony Wood Veneer Sheets - Quartered Cut

Natural Macassar Ebony (Diospyros celebica) is a premier exotic hardwood, and the Quartered Cut is its most refined architectural expression. By slicing the log perpendicular to the growth rings, we produce a tight, vertical grain pattern where the species' iconic dark stripes run parallel to the length of the sheet. These 4x8 and 4x10 veneer sheets are hand-selected in our Troy, Michigan facility to ensure the highest degree of linear consistency for modern cabinetry and executive interiors.

The Aesthetic of the Quartered Cut Unlike a flat-cut or plain-sliced veneer which features "cathedral" arches, the Quartered Macassar Ebony offers a sleek, disciplined look. The contrast between the deep black-brown heartwood and the caramel-colored streaks is organized into straight, rhythmic lines. This makes it the industry standard for:

• Vertical Wall Paneling: Creating a seamless, towering effect in luxury foyers or boardrooms.

• Modern Cabinetry: Providing a clean, linear flow across drawer fronts and doors.

• Fine Furniture: Offering a sophisticated, geometric contrast for mid-century modern or contemporary designs.

Direct-from-Manufacturer Quality Control Ebony is an exceptionally dense and oily wood, which requires expert handling to ensure a successful bond. At Oakwood Veneer, we manage the entire processing and inspection cycle. We hand-select flitches for grain straightness and color balance, ensuring that the natural Macassar character is preserved without the unpredictable "wildness" often found in lesser grades.

Professional Backing Options for Dense Hardwoods Because Quartered Ebony is a high-density material, choosing the right backer is critical for a permanent, bubble-free installation. We offer three primary options:

• 10-Mil Paper Backer: Maximum flexibility for detailed work and slight curves.

• 22.2-Mil (Bubble-Free): Our signature BFV backer. This cross-grain construction is highly recommended for Ebony to prevent grain telegraphing and provide maximum stability on large-scale architectural panels.

• 3M™ Peel & Stick (PSA): A high-strength, permanent adhesive solution for fast, professional refacing projects.
