LoginA seamless wood texture with wood veneer arranged in a chevron pattern. The image represents a physical area of 2004 x 1820 mm (78.9 x 71.7 inches) in total, with each individual board measuring approximately 500 x 100 mm. The joints are filled with a solid fill and are 1 mm (0 inches) in width.
A deep tone, dark grain, crown cut, stained timber veneer with distinctive swirl grain pattern, suitable for furniture, panelling, cupboards, doors and flooring. This veneer is comprised of real thin-sawn, cut or peeled strips from the origin tree’s trunk which, when layered together over a backing board such as particleboard or MDF, form highly unique patterns. Traditionally, veneer was more expensive than standard sawn timber as it required a high level of skill to cut and layer fine strips of the timber. Modern manufacturing techniques are able to replicate these techniques and reproduce patterns quickly and economically. Due to the nature of the different cuts of timber, it was previously impossible to have the same pattern repeated on each sheet of veneer. With contemporary processes, the unique patterns can be replicated manually, or digitally scanned and etched into synthetic panels, allowing patterns to be repeated consistently across surfaces on veneer effect panels. The more effective modern production methods have significantly reduced the cost of veneer timber, although real-sawn timber veneers are still relatively expensive due to the time intensive nature of cutting and layering individual strips. This particular veneer texture has a traditional, vintage appearance, created by the dark stained grain, burnt orange colour and oily, glossy finish; suggestive of several layers of varnish applied over a long period.
This texture is an example of a chevron pattern. The chevron pattern contains a series of parallelograms which meet at their ends to form a V shape which is then repeated. The appearance of the chevron can be varied by adjusting the angle of each parallelogram. It is commonly used in interior design for parquet flooring and tile surfaces.
This image is seamless, meaning it can be tiled repeatedly for use in architectural drawings and 3D models. It can be used as a SketchUp texture, Revit material or imported into Photoshop for use in 2D illustrations.
