If it is what I think it is, it is made by dying sheets of plain, uniform veneers, then gluing these sheets up into a large block, then re-slicing it into veneers. By controlling the colors, patterns, and slicing angles, they can create anything from imitations of otherwise costly exotics to bizarre colorful patterns not found in nature. One of the benefits is the amount of control they have over the process - if you buy another sheet next year it will pretty much match the one you bought last year. They are made from real wood veneers, if that is important to your customer.I have worked with a few different versions of these - they are available from several sources, but I suspect they all come from the same place. Depending on your source they may be available in paperback, phenolic-backed, or plain sheets, and are pre-sanded so (if you don't scratch them up during production) they need relatively little additional sanding before finishing.For the most part they behave and are worked like regular veneers, similar to how any other veneer with the same backing would work.
