Domestic, Exotic, & Burl Flexible Wood Veneer Made in the USA.
Cumaru (Dipteryx odorata)—widely recognized in the design industry as Brazilian Teak—is one of the densest and most durable hardwoods in the world. Our Cumaru veneer sheets offer a stunning aesthetic characterized by deep golden-brown to reddish-brown heartwood, often accented with yellowish or greenish-brown streaks that deepen with age.
As a premier exotic species, Cumaru is prized not only for its hardness but for its unique grain, which typically features an interlocked or wavy pattern. This provides a distinct visual texture that sets it apart from traditional domestic teak, offering a more contemporary and robust "teak" look for high-end architectural projects.
Cumaru is the go-to species for designers who require the prestigious look of Teak with enhanced density and a more aggressive, exotic grain. It is a top-tier selection for:
Luxury Marine Interiors: While used as solid decking for yachts, our Cumaru wood veneer sheets are the professional choice for interior cabin cabinetry and wall panels where weight savings and stability are required.
Modern Executive Suites: The rich, earthy tones provide a powerful, sophisticated backdrop for conference rooms and executive furniture.
High-Traffic Retail Fixtures: Because of its natural hardness, Cumaru veneer is exceptionally resistant to the wear and tear of commercial environments.
Architectural Wall Paneling: The interlocked grain creates a "ribbon" effect when sliced, adding a dynamic, light-refracting quality to large-scale vertical surfaces.
We source our Cumaru to ensure it meets the rigorous expectations of professional woodshops:
Superior Color Matching: We select our Cumaru logs for a consistent golden-brown palette, minimizing the "patchy" color variations often found in lower-grade imports.
Stable Sheet Engineering: Cumaru is a high-density wood; by applying our wood veneer sheets to professional backers, we provide the flexibility and ease of use that solid Cumaru lacks.
Architectural Lengths: Available in standard 4'x8' as well as 4'x10' sheets to accommodate tall panels and custom floor-to-ceiling installations.
Specialized Backing Systems: Choose the right foundation for your project with our 10-mil paper backer, 22.2-mil Bubble-Free (BFV) for a mirror-smooth finish on panels, or 3M™ PSA (Peel-and-Stick) for high-efficiency application.
