Australian Lacewood is a little different than South American Lacewood but not hugely. European Plane Tree and North American Sycamore are also called lacewoods and they can have a similar appearance at times but are actually very different woods. The Lacewoods that we are most familiar with are coming from Australia and South America. If there is one thing I tell people about lacewood it's to get ready for a healthy waste factor. We have never been asked for Lacewood with anything larger than medium eye and the nature of the beast is not to have just small to medium eye. We don't even use the honey comb for backer because its just not productive and I have never meet anyone that likes it enough to want it. We have made lots of panels and cut to size cabinet parts so we always have some Lacewood in inventory.
