What exactly is wood veneer?

Wood veneer (commonly known as: wood veneer, veneer; English: veneer; ; Veneer decoration industry began in 1950s, and has reached a considerable scale after half a century's development. Especially in the past twenty years, with the rapid growth of furniture manufacturing and decoration industry in China, its development has advanced by leaps and bounds, and a large number of industry experts have emerged.

Cutting method:

The straight lines and patterns of veneer used for wooden doors are made by different cutting methods.

According to the data of Hardwood Plywood and Veneer Association, the standard veneer cutting methods commonly used in the market are as follows:

Rotary cutting)-install the log in the center of the lathe, insert the slicing knife into the log at a slight angle, and then rotate the log against the slicing knife to make the veneer rotary. The rotary veneer can be wide enough to provide a whole board (veneer).

Flat cutting, flat cutting)-)-Also known as flat cutting, flat cutting/flat cutting, flat cutting of veneer refers to the parallel line cutting of wood chips along the center of log by the slicing knife. Chord-cut veneer is cut from split logs, and the tree rings on the first floor will form the grain of "cathedral" pattern.

Quarter slitting-radial slitting is the annual rings of logs, which are perpendicular to each other and produce straight veneers.

Rift-cut)-Veneer is made of all kinds of oak. The pith rays of oak extend from the center of the log, just like the bent spokes of a wheel. The pith ray tangent to oak at a slight angle can minimize the appearance of "scale" wood grain and produce straight bark.

Longitudinal slicing-use a fixed slicing knife to cut the veneer flat from the bottom of the flat saw board. The grain patterns of longitudinal wood veneers are varied.

When ordering veneer, you can specify color, wood grain pattern and various natural features besides cutting methods. The Hardwood Plywood and Veneer Association also recommends that you choose your ideal veneer specifications and packaging requirements.
