Getting Steamed

Sycamore, Beech, and certain other veneers can be specified steamed or unsteamed. Steaming logs makes it easier to slice veneer from hard, dense woods. The process changes the innate color of the wood, imbuing it with a soft pink cast that is the unique signature of steamed woods. We carry Sycamore and Beech (shown here), and several other species, steamed or unsteamed. Check out our Veneer Library to learn more.
