Four new
WoodWorks veneer
options
1. Rich, natural vertically grained bamboo caramelized
to create WoodWorks Bamboo Patina veneer,
available on Vector and Tegular panels,
unperforated and perforated. These are 4 new
standard items in the Vector and Tegular families.
2. New Natural Variations Dark Cherry veneer provides
a darker cherry visual in standard Vector and
Tegular, unperforated and perforated. These are 4
new standard items in the Vector and Tegular
families. (Note: the current Natural Variations
“Cherry” items will now be called “Light Cherry” but
their item numbers will not change.)
3. New Constants veneer also available in a Walnut
finish, providing a darker option in this reconstituted
veneer line. Also available as 4 standard items in
Tegular and Vector, with or without perforation.
4. Rich, natural vertically grained bamboo veneer is
also available in its native visual in the new
WoodWorks Bamboo Native option. This is a
Premium veneer option available only through
Architectural Specialties due to the need to manage
customer expectations about potential for significant
panel-to-panel color variation due to the natural
characteristics of the product. This option has no
item numbers – it is the only “new” visual that needs
to be ordered through Architectural Specialties.

Questions?

Samples of all four new veneers, both perforated and
unperforated, will be available at the National Sample
Center by October 1st.
 Until then, use the samples you will receive in your
launch packet.
 Bamboo Patina, Dark Cherry and Walnut are standard
products, made to order, ordered through the CFC, and
supported by TechLine – just like other standard
WoodWorks 2x2 panels.
 Bamboo Native is a special Premium option that must be
ordered through Architectural Specialties due to the
potential for significant panel-to-panel color variation. If a
customer wants bamboo, the standard Patina option is
the safer color consistency choice.
 All products will be available for order October 1st.
 Priced per square foot, packaged four pieces per
carton, with a minimum order quantity of 4 cartons,
and quick lead time from 1-3 weeks depending on
quantity -- just like other standard WoodWorks 2x2
panels.
 Customer price lists will be handed out in Excel
spreadsheet format at the September sales meeting.
We’ll answer your questions at the sales meeting.
After launch, contact CFC or TechLine for all of the new
standard products. For customer orders of Bamboo Native,
which is a Premium option, contact Architectural Specialties.
