CROWN LARCH

Also known as: Siberian Larch

Botanical Name: Larix decidua, L. sibirica

Origin: Central and Northern Europe, Asia

Description: The colour and structure of Larch make it one of the more attractive softwood veneers. Sometimes inclined to be knotty, the better logs display a uniform cathedral crown with clean, straight halves. The annual growth rings are often strongly defined and give the veneer a distinctive look. Used mainly for furniture and interior decoration, Larch can make fine looking panelling.
