Get along with wood - Tips on veneer Veneer

Veneer is mainly divided into two categories: natural solid wood veneer and technological wood veneer
This time, let's talk about natural solid wood veneer
Many people will ask - what is veneer? Then let's answer what veneer is? Here we first make it clear that the veneer mentioned here is an industry term, not the literal meaning. It is not the bark wrapped on the surface of the log.

Veneer is a form processed from logs. Let's talk about how it is processed. First, select high-quality logs (normally, they are selected from a pile of wood, with no obvious defects on the surface and straight strips), then peel them, cut the logs into square materials according to the best yield, and then put them in a "pot" for steaming. On the one hand, the wood texture becomes softer and easier to slice, and on the other hand, impurities are removed, so that the veneer wood grain is clearer and the color is purer.
After cooking, it can be "taken out of the pot" and put on the machine. The best angle of the knife can be adjusted according to the needs, and then it is dried, trimmed, inspected, measured in square numbers, graded, packaged and stored for sale. It is obvious what veneer is.
Let's talk about the wood grain of veneer. The wood grain of common wood sliced ​​on the market is mostly straight line, mountain-shaped and spiral. These textures are mainly related to the direction of wood sliced.
Some wood, such as tree knots and tree branches, are sliced ​​out of wood grains, which we call tree knots and tree branches. There are also some variant woods, and the wood belts sliced ​​out have water ripples, which we call shadow wood. However, the prices of these two types are not very cheap.
