Virola is a species from South America that has an open grain similar to Meranti plywood but varies in color from light to dark or with dark streaks. Faveria is a White Virola that does not vary in color like the Virola. Both are tropical hardwoods that are fairly stable, with the core also constructed of tropical hardwoods. Most Virola and Faveria panels have Rotary Cut, Whole Piece Face veneers with Whole Piece or Spliced backs. Both of these products are available with Moisture Resistant glue. These panels are also used in the construction of cabinet boxes. They are also a great substitute for Meranti plywood. Since they do have tropical hardwood cores that are machine-dried, they are relatively stable.
