| Marwood is a manufacturer, importer and exporter of specialty hardwood veneer and lumber. We are a family-owned and operated company that takes pride in its products and in its three generations of family experience in the business of fancy figured and exotic hardwoods. Among our specialties are American Burl veneers, peeled on our 76 inch (190 mm) long rotary veneer lathe. We have been selling to markets around the world since 1955.
Marwood originally concentrated on fine quality hardwoods, located in its area of Indiana, and then started importing veneers from around the world in 1965. In 1984 we started manufacturing our own veneers, and today Jim and Lyman Martin manage the company. Below are key reasons why hundreds of manufacturing, wholesaling, retailing and international companies choose Marwood for their veneer and lumber needs. Quality – Our cutting quality is of the highest standard, and has been praised by top quality buyers from America and European. We have been importing quality hardwoods for many decades, and are knowledgeable about the different grades, colors, availabilities, and manufacturing qualities of many of the world’s finest exotic hardwoods. Sources – In the United States we have developed relationships with top log producers in many regions. We travel to six continents, and have developed and maintained key sources in many foreign countries. Our staff’s knowledge of German, French, and Portuguese facilitates communications with mill personnel in different countries. Quantity – We are able to import in volume and often combine shipments of lumber and veneer to achieve economies of scale on expensive foreign shipping costs. Upon arrival at our plant, we break down the containers into more manageable quantities for our customers, and separate them into the different grades and figures that our customers require. Selection – Our inventory of 60 different exotic woods offers many unique grades, and a rainbow of colors. If you don’t see the species of wood you need on our website list, call us about other options. Manufacturers of fine furniture, panels, cabinets, and architectural woodwork often consult with our staff about the palette of veneers and lumber available. Among our specialties are Figured Walnut Stumps, Walnut Burl, Myrtle Cluster, Mahogany Crotch, Curupixa, Walnut Cluster, Cypress, Ebony, Santos Rosewood, Chestnut Cluster, and Birdseye Maple. Service – Our staff strives to meet your requirements. Richard Turner has decades of experience in treating and pressing burls, crotches, and other special exotic species. Richard and Ken work meticulously work to insure customer satisfaction. Larry and Ryan manage the burl production and clipping. After reviewing the customers’ requirements, different flitches are reviewed to best fit your project and samples are often sent out. Call us to schedule a visit.
