Wood Finishing (PDF 489 kb)

Wood Library is a set of scanned images of 79 beautiful wood veneers from the Americas, Europe and Africa. They are shown here in their unfinished state. When merited, we can photo-realistically render our furniture designs with some of these woods before the piece is physically constructed to test out various types and colors.

Those in Italicsat right are endangered and/or rare, and we will not use them, but there are sometimes composite and close-species relatives that can achieve a similar look.

The endangered species are shown to show what will be missing if we continue as is. Please spread the word, and do not buy or specify these woods at risk. For more info go to : Friends of the Earth

Wood Finishing is a primer on how we specify wood finish, and is of use to our clients in unraveling an obtuse technical subject, as well as to the 3D community of renderers and artists. -Sef
