Domestic, Exotic, & Burl Flexible Wood Veneer Made in the USA.
Goiaboa (Pouteria spp.) is an exotic South American treasure, frequently sought out by designers who require a wood that bridges the gap between traditional elegance and high-impact visual texture. Our Goiaboa veneer sheets are offered exclusively in a High Figured grade, showcasing a natural chatoyancy and "rippled" figure that creates a three-dimensional effect when finished.
The color profile of Goiaboa typically ranges from a warm, creamy tan to a rich brownish-pink, often compared to the luster of Anigre but with a significantly more aggressive and dramatic figure. These wood veneer sheets are ideal for projects where the wood is intended to be the centerpiece of the room.
Because of its intense movement and exotic origins, High Figured Goiaboa is highly specified for premium, one-of-a-kind installations:
High-End Custom Furniture: The definitive choice for modern credenzas, dining tables, and jewelry boxes where a "liquid" grain appearance is desired.
Architectural Accent Panels: Use Goiaboa to create focal points in hotel lobbies, executive boardrooms, or luxury residential entryways.
Luxury Marine & Aviation: A sophisticated alternative to traditional Figured Maple or Anigre, providing a unique South American aesthetic for cabin interiors.
Designer Cabinetry: Perfect for slab-style cabinet doors, allowing the continuous figure to flow across the vertical surfaces of a custom kitchen or library.
We ensure that rare species like Goiaboa are processed to meet the highest architectural specifications:
Strict Figure Grading: Our "High Figured" designation is reserved for logs that exhibit a consistent, strong ripple across the entire width of the sheet.
Lustrous Finish Results: Goiaboa is known for its fine texture; it takes high-gloss lacquers and specialized oils exceptionally well, which further enhances the depth of the figure.
Stabilized Sheet Construction: Despite its intense figure, our Goiaboa wood veneer sheets are engineered for stability, staying flat and providing a reliable bond to your chosen substrate.
Versatile Backing Options: Available with our 10-mil paper backer, 22.2-mil Bubble-Free (BFV) for a flawless finish, or 3M™ PSA (Peel-and-Stick) for high-efficiency application.
