It is crucial if you are considering taking advantage of the functionality and manufacturing process of wood veneer.
Due to its multiple uses, wood veneer needs to comply with specific production methods in order to provide the desired finish.
What is wood veneer?
Veneer is widely used in kitchen cabinets, furniture manufacturing, interior design and architectural applications. Tables, chairs, cabinets, doors, wall panels and floors are just a few things to have it. By using wooden veneers, high-end and aesthetically pleasing products can be created to showcase the natural beauty of wood.

- Jarrah veneer
- Blackbutt wood veneer
Raw wood veneer lacks a background and can be easily layered to make larger parts. On the other hand, it also offers paper veneer, providing a larger surface area and resistance to cracking.
Why make wood veneer?
The production of veneer makes effective use of wood resources. By cutting the logs into small layers, one log can produce many veneer fragments, thereby optimizing the use of wood. This helps to reduce waste and encourage sustainable forestry methods.
It offers exquisite finishes for multiple surfaces, including:
Parquet floor
Furniture parts
Wall panel
- Cabinet
- Door
- Frame
- Ceiling
- Inner Pavilion Gate
- Staircase
- Shelf
In addition, you can use a thin veneer layer instead of solid wood to help preserve rare or unique wood.
Wood board production
It is produced by slicing or stripping the wood from logs.
The moisture level plays a crucial role in the veneer peeling process. Logs must be kept at an appropriate moisture level to avoid cracking or splitting. If the logs become too dry, you can wet them by spraying water on them. If they are too moist, they may need to be dried before peeling
When peeling, place the trunk on a veneer lathe, which rotates the log, and the peeler begins to remove the bark. This resulted in long planks.
Thin layers of wood can be removed by rotating the logs on a lathe and pushing knives or other blades towards them. The adjustable thickness of the single board depends on the depth of the inserted knife.
Wood can be cut from all angles to produce various grain patterns, including quarter rotations and crowns.
Then the veneer paper is adhered to the panel mentioned earlier, which is made of different materials such as wood boards and particle boards.
