Jacaranda has been crafting green building products for more than 40 years. It all started when our founder, Dan Whittelsey, Sr., began exporting veneer quality logs from Central America. The region rarely produced entire logs, but it did offer dimensioned lumber, which was highly prized by Japanese company Hokusan. Hokusan used the lumber to craft exotic sheet veneer, which Whittelsey brought back to the U.S. By 1984, Whittelsey and Hokusan had teamed up to create Jacaranda, named after Brazilian Rosewood. Since then, they’ve revolutionized the process of creating natural wood veneer products and offer an extensive selection of veneers as well as numerous customization options.
Jacaranda Wood Veneer
Composite or recon veneer is crafted using consistently available species from responsibly managed forests. It can be stained and dyed as desired with a grain that can be manipulated to achieve the desired look. The thin slices of wood are then bonded to a secure underlayer for ease of application. They are often designed to simulate the look of rare or exotic woods but can be completely customized according to your needs.
Jacaranda’s composite veneers are designed for beauty, strength and durability. We offer more than 100 species, with both conventional and recon veneers, and we work closely with our clients to ensure the best results and complete satisfaction. Our stellar reputation and superior products have led to Jacaranda being featured in some of the world’s most recognizable establishments, including hotels, restaurants, educational facilities, public buildings and retail businesses. Our veneer is used in wallcoverings as well as ceilings, millwork, doors and architectural panels.
