Acer rubrum and Acer saccharinum of the Aceraceae family are trees native to North America, reach an average height of between 10 and 40 meters, and are plants highly recognized for their ornamental aesthetic value.
The frisé variant, like the other three-dimensionalities that make fine wood (briar, pomelé, eyelets), are a gift from Nature and provide us with highly customizable veneers, in fact the dyeing of natural veneer enhances the three-dimensionalities, makes the veneer iridescent and luminescent like silk or velvet.
It is obtained from derulation to maintain as much continuous frisé effect as possible and provides a unique and never repeatable aesthetic value, particularly sought after for the coating of high-end electric guitars for its contribution to both aesthetics and sound enhancement.
