Paldao is a tropical species known for its distinctive appearance and pronounced natural contrasts. Its color generally ranges from golden brown to olive brown, often crossed with darker streaks that give the wood a rich and expressive look. The contrasts of paldao veneer create highly decorative surfaces that add depth and character to panels.
Native mainly to Southeast Asia, paldao comes from the species Dracontomelon dao. It is appreciated in decorative veneer for its exotic appearance and the natural patterns that develop in certain logs. In furniture and architectural panels, it allows the creation of elegant and distinctive surfaces where the natural variations of the wood become a central element of the design.
