Vibrant & Multi-Tonal Canary Wood Veneer Panels

Canary Wood (Centrolobium spp.) is a breathtaking exotic species that lives up to its name with a plumage-like array of colors. Known primarily for its "rainbow" appearance, our Canary Wood veneer panels showcase a base of pale yellow to orange-brown, punctuated by striking streaks of violet, red, and deep amber.

By providing this species as pre-fabricated panels, we offer a stable and efficient way to utilize this dense South American hardwood. These panels feature a consistent, general straight-grain orientation, which serves to organize the vibrant color palette into a sophisticated, linear aesthetic that is perfect for high-end architectural applications.

Applications for Canary Wood Veneer Panels

Because of its high-contrast color profile and excellent workability, Canary Wood veneer panels are frequently specified for focal points in modern design:

  • High-Impact Accent Walls: The vertical "rainbow" streaks make it an ideal candidate for feature walls in lobbies, executive offices, and luxury residential spaces.

  • Custom Cabinetry & Furniture: Provides a unique, exotic alternative to traditional species for wardrobe doors, credenzas, and media consoles.

  • Luxury Marine Interiors: Known for being naturally decay-resistant and visually stunning, it is a favorite for custom yacht millwork.

  • Architectural Inlays: The bold colors of Canary Wood provide excellent contrast when used alongside darker woods like Walnut or lighter species like Maple.

The Oakwood Professional Standard

We source and manufacture our Canary Wood panels to ensure they meet the highest architectural standards:

  • Vibrant Color Grading: We select logs that exhibit the widest range of natural streaks, ensuring your panels have the "rainbow" character that defines the species.

  • Consistent Straight Grain: While the color is wild, the grain remains predictably straight. This allows for cleaner transitions and easier matching across large panel surfaces.

  • Substrate Versatility: Our wood veneer panels are available on industrial-grade cores—including MDF, Particle Board, and Veneer Core Plywood—ensuring a flat, stable surface for high-end fabrication.

  • Exceptional Finish Receptivity: Canary Wood takes finishes beautifully. A clear topcoat is all that is needed to make the natural oranges and reds "pop" with incredible depth.
