Sycamore

Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus) is a creamy white wood with a fiddleback or lace-like figure when quartered. It is often used as veneer in furniture. It is found in the United Kingdom and Central Europe. The American sycamore (Platanus occidentalis) has similar properties and is also known as the plane tree.
