European Sycamore Wood Veneer Information

European Sycamore, Sycamore Plane, European Maple or whatever you want to call this beautiful wood, unlike North American Maples, can be lustrous almost to the point of being iridescent. Keep in mind that it will eventually darken to a light golden brown. We do sell it as a substitute for holly. From what I understand, Great Britain is the largest single supplier of Sycamore. Harewood is Sycamore that has been dyed a silver-gray color. The dye is forced into the wood by the use of hydraulic pressure and, voila, you have Harewood! Sycamore was very popular for several years but lately it has taken a back seat to darker woods. We usually have plain sliced, plain quartered and/ or figured Sycamore in our inventory.
