- Harewood - Harewood is a fine-grained, dense, and light-coloured wood that comes from the sycamore tree, a type of maple tree, that has been dyed silvery grey with iron oxide. The wood is highly prized for its beautiful appearance and its durability, which makes it ideal for use in furniture making, cabinetry, and decorative objects.
The wood has a pale colour with a slight pinkish or reddish hue, and it has a very smooth surface that can be easily polished to a high shine. The wood has a straight grain that is sometimes slightly wavy, and it has a fine, uniform texture.
Harewood is often used for inlay work or as a decorative veneer on furniture, where its subtle grain pattern and pale color can create a beautiful contrast with other darker woods. It is also used for making musical instruments such as pianos, as its density and fine grain can produce a rich, clear sound.
