London Plane
The colour of this timber is a mixture of pink, orange and brown. The tree is a cross between American Sycamore and Oriental Plane, first discovered in the 17th Century and widely planted in the 18th Century in London and other urban areas, as it copes well with smoke polluted atmospheres. Quartered stock is generally separated out and sold as ’Lacewood’. Flat sawn Plane tree finds applications in furniture, cabinetry and woodware items.
