Figured Sycamore is readily available in veneer form. However, designers, architects & homeowners often struggle to source sycamore wood for millwork or cabinetry applications. Additionally, many hardwood lumber companies market sycamore, even if they have rarely, if ever worked with it.
3 Reasons Why Few Hardwood Suppliers Sell Sycamore lumber.
- Sycamore is used to describe multiple wood species. Just like mahogany & eucalyptus, sycamore is often used as catchall term for different wood species. Often, wood sellers prefer to use a common familiar name when marketing unique hardwoods. Unfortunately, this adds to confusion in the marketplace.
- Sycamore wood has limited applications in commercial millwork and furniture design. Unlike Red Oak, sycamore lumber has a small amount of woodworking applications. Most of sycamore wood is used for niche manufacturing – fancy veneers, plywood, high end millwork, drawersides, wood paneling, etc. Thus, there is no single high volume market driving consistent sycamore log production from the sawmills. Accordingly, it’s available in limited production for very specific manufacturing.
- Certain types of sycamore lumber are unstable, even when kiln dried. However, other types of sycamore are very stable. Thus, it’s critical to work with a supplier who knows which sycamore wood is needed.
