The manufacturing process of wooden boards
The logs are peeled into thin slices, usually 0.6 to 6 millimeters thick, to form veneer. The professional term refers to this stage as "slicing".
Choose wood
Choosing the right wood and cutting it into veneer is a meticulous process that requires skills, knowledge and experience. Evaluating the manufacturing and quality of the wooden boards is an important first step. To produce high-quality finishes, each log is inspected separately according to multiple standards, including straightness, surface defects, size (diameter and length), color, form, etc.
Slicing preparation
The logs are prepared for slicing immediately after being equipped with the slicer. First, a smooth and high-quality slicing process was ensured to remove the bark from the trees, and then they were immersed in a hot water bath to soften the wood fibers.
Slice type
Once the logs are steamed, they can be cut into thin wooden layers. They can choose to be peeled off or cut into thin slices. To peel, align the logs from one end to the other. It is supported by a mechanical mechanism in the middle and rotates on its axis. Similar to the pencil shoe, the single board is always in continuous contact with the knife and always exposed. Rotating, vertical or horizontal slicing is possible. Rotating slicing is the most impressive technique.
The trunk is divided into four parts, and fixed blades rotate on their axes. Each rotation will produce a layer of veneer. The log firmly holds it in place, and the table moves vertically or horizontally using suction or claws. Each time the log passes through the blade of the machine, a single-board table is created.
Depending on the slicing and slicing methods, different patterns can be seen on the single board.
Simple cutting: Create a cathedral grain design. It is claimed that the veneer shows a design similar to that of leaves.
Quarter of all pieces: Generate straightforward patterns. It is claimed that the veneer has a direct crystal pattern.
Rotating slicing: Generates random grain patterns.
Drying
After the cutting process, the still warm and wet veneer boards are dried one by one. It is crucial to keep dry. Using the same sequence of paper later will help form a sticky wood design.
