By cutting from the barrel of thin strips, where their width corresponds to the width of the workpiece, a natural planed veneer is obtained. Its thickness is from 0.2 to 5 mm.
For the production of veneer, a veneer is used. For the production of this type of veneer, more valuable tree species are often used, which have a beautiful texture – oak, acacia, walnut, mahogany, ash, birch, etc. This kind of veneer is the most popular, because it is on it that all the beauty of wood species is visible. Each sheet of material has its own unique texture, due to the fact that the angles change with respect to the transverse or longitudinal workpiece. Sliced veneer is widely distributed in furniture production.
The lowest price is usually for peeled veneer, it has a standard texture, which does not make it unique. Obtain such a veneer by cutting from the outer edge of the log a solid and thin layer of wood when it rotates. The chopped natural veneer does not have any special texture qualities, but it retains high strength. The thickness of such veneers from 0.1 to 10 mm, for production use alder, birch, oak or pine. The production takes place on the lathe machines.
Another version of natural veneer is sawn veneer. This veneer is known for more than one hundred years, and is considered a real reproduction of art. The thickness of the sawn veneer from 1 to 10 mm, produces it most often from coniferous species: spruce, fir, cedar. Veneer is produced on veneer machines or horizontal sawmills. This veneer has unique high properties. Use it for musical instruments, as well as elite decorative finishes.
