touch (Plain, light or heavy brushing, five different scratch patterns). In Atherton, Glenn used Querkus Natural Adagio for a dining table and for kitchen cabinets. "I use Querkus to obtain a very authentic look. The dead-flat finish combined with the heavy brushing give the furniture a very natural look", Glenn says. Jeff Honerkamp, Sales Manager of Decospan USA complements: "The thicker the veneer chosen, the more character and depth can be put in the material. Using a thicker 1mm veneer top layer allows us to apply a heavier brushing technique to the Querkus panels, which would not be obtainable using thinner veneers. The heavier brushing highlights the natural characteristics and beauty found in the European White Oak veneers".
Shinnoki and Querkus panels use veneers composed on a Decospan patented mix-matching machine. This mixmatching technique gives the panels the look of using solid lumber without the typical disadvantages. This means that both collections can guarantee uniform quality while maintaining the natural lively appearance of wood without concerns about the stability of the panel.
"We have become true believers in the advantages of Decospan's veneered product lines. Proof is in our decision to use Shinnoki and Querkus in the Atherton house. We also plan on using them in new homes currently in construction in West-Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Los Angeles and again in Atherton", concludes Glenn.
