Smoking oak is a traditional craft that transforms timber veneer into something truly distinctive that standard oak simply can’t match. During the process, ammonia vapours react with the natural tannins in the timber, creating rich, deep colour that penetrates through the full thickness of the timber veneer. Because each tree carries a different tannin content, every sheet develops its own tonal variation, giving smoked timber veneers their unmistakable character and movement.

Within our Querkus timber veneer range, two smoked options are available:

  • Smoked Robusta – a darker, more intense smoke, producing deep brown to near-black tones.
  • Smoked Arabica – a warmer, lighter smoke with softer brown shades and golden undertones.

Both are produced in a planked mixmatch layout using quarter and crown cut, emulating the look of solid oak boards.

For furniture and cabinetry, double-sided panels are available in a 3050 x 1220mm size, ensuring a refined finish on both sides. For curved work, Querkus can also be supplied as a 3050 x 1220 x 0.6mm flexible sheet. The surface is supplied unfinished, giving complete freedom to oil, lacquer, or stain to achieve the desired result.
