Ziricote is a Central American species known for its spectacular appearance and strongly pronounced natural contrasts. Its surface often features dark, irregular streaks running across a lighter background, creating complex and highly expressive patterns. The variations of ziricote veneer produce unique panels where each sheet has a distinctive character.
Native mainly to Mexico and Central America, ziricote comes from the species Cordia dodecandra. It has long been appreciated in cabinetry and decorative objects for its rich appearance and remarkable natural patterns. In decorative veneer, ziricote is often chosen for high-end projects where a wood with strong character and unique aesthetic is desired.
