Domestic, Exotic, & Burl Flexible Wood Veneer
Angico Preto (Anadenanthera colubrina) is a striking South American hardwood celebrated for its dramatic visual character. The heartwood features a lovely red-brown base, frequently accented by darker brown to black streaks that create a high-contrast, luxury aesthetic. With a fine, uniform texture and a natural luster, Angico Preto is a premier choice for making high-end furniture and architectural features stand out.
In the woodworking industry, Angico Preto is often marketed under the name Patagonian Rosewood. However, it is important to note that this species is not botanically related to the true Rosewood (Dalbergia) genus. Despite this, it remains a favorite for designers seeking a similar level of density, durability, and rich coloration.
Other regional and trade names for this species include:
Traditional Names: Angico Cedro, Angico do Banhado, and Angico dos Montes.
Regional Variations: Curupay, Cebil, Paricá, and Angico Vermelho.
Trade Names: Pepperwood, Cuarucaia, and Angico Verdadeiro.
This species is primarily sourced from the subtropical forests of South America, including Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay.
Grain Pattern: When flat-cut, Angico Preto displays a beautiful wavy grain that adds movement and depth to any surface.
Density & Luster: It is an incredibly dense wood, which contributes to its fine texture and ability to take a high-quality finish.
Because solid Angico Preto is extremely hard and can be difficult to work with using standard shop tools, our flexible veneer sheets offer a professional solution. You can achieve the look of exotic South American timber on cabinetry, wall panels, and furniture without the weight or stability issues of solid thick-stock lumber.
Professional Backing Options:
10-Mil Paper Backer: Ideal for traditional woodworking projects.
22.2-Mil (Bubble-Free): Our BFV backer provides extra stability for larger surfaces.
3M™ Peel & Stick: A high-strength adhesive backing for fast, high-quality refacing.
Angico Preto is a specialized exotic wood that can vary in streak intensity. If you are looking for a specific grain pattern or need to verify current stock availability for a large-scale project, please call our veneer specialists for expert guidance.
