Veneers
Veneer is a thin sheet of superior wood used to cover the surface of interior wood. Veneers may be sliced with a knife (knife cut) from a section of a tree (flitch) or produced by means of a rotary cutting process as a raw material for plywood.
In this case, a part of a log is inserted lengthwise between two pins on a rotating lathe, and a knife, pressed against it, peels off an endless ribbon of veneer. In the usual manufacture process, the flitches are steamed before being cut and the sheet of veneer thus obtained is carefully dried.
The figure and the design of the veneer obtained from the different methods employed vary widely and the art of veneering consists in the careful and suitable application and matching of the veneers afterwards.
Veneers are manufactured in different thickness ranging from mm. 0,5 to mm. 4,0, in accordance with their final use or customers’ specifications.
Veneers are generally supplied only after careful inspection by the customer. The colour, textures and natural marks have to be considered the character and beauty of pure, natural, original wooden veneers, if we want to add a touch of elegance and personality to the design.
