You might have come across beautiful wooden designs that are available in form of furniture etc. If you do, it was likely veneer made! Veneer is a paper-thin layer of wood that gets glued onto another material like particleboard or MDF. That is how the furniture seems to be real wood, though its not. Veneer is able to produce more beautiful finishes which make furniture actually seem really nice.
Veneer begins with harvesting timber. Once the trees are felled, their barks outer protective coating is stripped. When the bark is removed, logs are cut into thin sheets or veneers. Slicing with a machine made exclusively for slicing. The factory receives the veneers which are sorted and graded after they have been sliced. Wherever else, lower-quality veneers are used for products like plywood which is in turn employed by domestic furniture and construction.
Step1: The raw veneers are soaked in boiling hot water. Soaking makes the wood softer and easier to work with. The veneers go through a soaking process, then pressed flat to get rid of any wrinkles or curves and finally they are diced into different shapes by the guillotine machine. This is to ensure that the cuts are all clean and accurate. Then the backing is glued on to relayed veneers. Insane right?! The backer is also helps to reinforce and stabilize the veneer. Under this glue, to correct the surface of a nice and convenient form. At this point, the new sheet of veneer is ready to be sliced and then use in making furniture or other stuff like decorative pieces and cabinets.
These mills draw only on forests that are well-maintained and managed sustainably. That way, whenever anyone cuts down a tree to turn it into paper, another tree is planted in its place so that the forest stays alive. The factory also takes advantage of renewable energy sources, like solar power to help keep pollution from and carbon footprint on the Earth as low as possible.
The factory workers are brilliant craftsmen. And really take a lot of pride and care in the process to make sure that each piece is grade A. So, what this means is that they sort the pieces of wood and use exacting machines to create a flawless cut on every layer of veneer which enables them to make their final product look spectacular.
A technique to do this is called bookmatching. During this process two veneer sheets are opened like a book and joined at the side. The pattern that is created looks like a mirror image and it gives the piece of furniture an absolutely beautiful finish. This technique highlights the grain and every individual piece very unique.
Inlaying is another method. " Slicing parts of timber that's in a different graphic characteristic and fitting those into the veneer to generate an unique pattern. Although this is intricate and time-consuming work, it will be more than worth the effort! The intricate designs can really bring the furniture to life
