Dark woods and stains are in high demand these days. The process used in creating fumed wood veneer turns light colours into warm rich chocolate browns.  The wood is placed in a special chamber where it goes through a “fumigation process”. There are only certain types of wood that are suitable for this process; they are tannic acid containing woods such as oak and larch. The reaction of the acid in the wood with ammonia is what is responsible for the darkening of colour. The light and shadow effects creating a patina in the wood veneer are due to different levels of tannic acid in the wood giving the veneer a truly unique look. When woods that are not fully hearted are fumigated the result is a light splint zone. This gives the Smoked Wood Veneer its distinctive look that is not attainable through other processes. The colour that the fumed wood takes on due to the fumigation process is to a large degree non-aging and is far more stable to light compared to many other coloured wood types. The fumed wood veneer is also more elastic and less brittle. Environmental Story During the fumigation process of the wood there are no waste products produced. The ammonia that is required for the manufacturing process is routed by the fumigation chambers directly into a washer and is neutralized. The resulting nitrogenous solution is then used in farming as fertilizer. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcz2AlCPgecDWbj2bHUCUCVs_3xTKePFMRZyAN0q-i6WiEwBZwWxRMWiYNUPDdeVSgRGr2gttbe9rBkrBgOZHmU0t61FbhV63hlreBxF2NmSY_cu1R8kxB51ohj_rgW_Ax-t9EKw0XVj9a/s1600-h/image%5B8%5D.png"><img alt="image" border="0" height="343" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9WcfTTExL1jDR4FEre8PFQ-a4J_UnrDrvtoCL0Kw4BqMsbkUR4XBJ4wj-BXq0-oUT6yOt7vW3OS1XD7LcNrAOlW0Il6GPiW8tvGg2E-eL_xEmXQxWH4dCEskmnYJ3iXPm7t-dnXOO7lSE/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" width="670" /></a>  Fumed Wood Veneer - Macassar <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwEQGnPojSRB5MiqXGOBztMm72u4s5YAU_Nvs2MmZPAw1JSOnOcdlUrOB4tY9WIa2tYBFZZmiO1otXrsijMNkCBqNEhhtskjH19XJjMQFBDoiCgrKHiJ6OyZFBSU9gwWvawd4emEr-dH2k/s1600-h/image%5B12%5D.png"><img alt="image" border="0" height="262" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia45pEgdoxwxg3ejDm5Mbo-TxkPaj_vMpo3YCxdohbaT_rShGDJhyHpVsBeQoqQICK67RVLQrSXu7MLqXroiVP9hLMYJCFbXs4MjqZZgVDL2NZpR6lpuMQBhCWXM7Awq2dS47nMgQlQGFb/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" width="678" /></a> Fumed Wood Veneer - Smoked Oak  <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhgjvc5VLHAj5ePYcsS7bPaO6rKym-40Ia_VPHUsxkU8TuWv9txgi8gQ5gT70G0Pzp-YIvN6VAhzovogbg58HJaMystJzcl4prru-xwoHUn43R7Wike9x8_uWiWLe7bojA1sR2G9QHaRGw/s1600-h/white%20ebony%20close%20up%5B4%5D.jpg"><img alt="white ebony close up" border="0" height="286" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6uayl4MsTcPckXDovUzeeg9yZP6to9EG202sWZCUV3YskhSDY2wz3QJaaGtpRis5Jeo5rIxskGnTS9ZkSkrRn-6eNuci1SZL8Xg5L3FTPQPlQXvj4Ju2B0jO65QTG5rbNvAYU-6CGnXk0/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" width="738" /></a> White Ebony <a href="http://www.patriciagrayinc.com/" target="_blank">Patricia Gray</a> is an award winning Interior Designer in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada who blogs about "WHAT'S HOT" in the world of Interior Design: New and Emerging Trends, Contemporary Design, Modern Architecture and Travel, as well as how your surroundings can enhance the world around you. <a href="http://patriciagrayinc.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">© Patricia Gray | Interior Design Blog™ 2009</a>
