Veneer is a thin wood layer of definite thickness, which is made by rotary peeling, slicing or cutting.

The technology of veneer production is known for more than 4000 years. It’s no coincidence that the idea to slice trees emerged in highly developed Egyptian culture, in the culture of the place, where just endless desert existed except the life-giving moisture of the Nile. Wood was very rare material in Ancient Egypt and was estimated like the precious stones, which were used for furniture decoration.

So, veneer production originates not from dense forests but from the place, where wood was the scarce raw material and there was need of its optimum use. The craft work, when the trunk was sliced with the use of a cross-cut saw, was very hard and tiring. Nevertheless wonderful wooden ware, which was found in Tutankhamen cist, can definitely prove that people of that time already knew, how to show natural wood beauty even with the use of primitive tools.

The furniture, which achieved perfection during the time of the Renaissance and the Baroque and was created by great masters in the next centuries, demonstrate us, how the simple need could become cultural heritage and eventually the distinctive feature of every historical period.

In ancient castles we often gaze at painterly wooden covers, at interior decoration and furniture. The skills of wood masters, advanced with the help of modern technique, found application in industrial production.

Only in the 19th century it became possible to mechanize methods of veneer production. Mark Isambar Brunelle obtained British patent on the handpower planning-machine in 1806, and then Henry Faverer created veneer lathe in 1818. In 1843 the first factory, equipped with simple saws, appeared in Germany. In the USA crossband veneer was firstly produced with the use of machine of 1,5 width at the beginning of the 19th century. In 1870 the production of crossband veneer began in France. In 1901 the Cramons began production of crossband veneer with the use of the first horizontal veneer lathe in Italy.

Still veneer production has always been a definite job.
Experience and professional skills play a crucial role in this job. High professional level is necessary to define and estimate quality of the timber in the rough, to decide a question of the opportunities in materials processing and to estimate the quality of end products.

The process of production of crossband veneer is following: moving knife planes previously fixed log. In such a way veneer slices of 0,2-2 mm width appear and then are put into flitches ( piles of veneer slices). Definite number of these piles form pallet.

2 - direction of slicing
