Thanks, Great job! I have been wondering how veneer is made, you have done a great job of showing the whole process in a very short time. I know it took you a lot longer and a lot more work to put this video together so thanks again. I really needed to know.

Excellent video i worked in Architectual Woodworking for over 20 years and never got to tour one of the veneer plants but always heard the oh we are waiting on the plant in so and so to ship the correct ones the client selected i knew that it was always limited to only a few places that cut the species we needed After seeing the tremendous operation and size of the machinery. I can understand why its such a limited. Amount of facilities i seem to recall that most of the products came from the Carolinas as a rule ? I guess that is why. Many furniture making is done there as well

they are re-planting and can make veneer from thinner trees. At least with veneer they are getting a better yield with the wood. x 42 with minimal waste

@varun009 3 жыл бұрын

Veneer gets you more out of the log and allows you to make wide panels and sheets with the help of a plywood backing (mdf is a waste of veneer). It also allows you to get use able decorative material from smaller logs from plantations with short growth cycles for the species - and thus with narrow heartwood diameter - if radially cut, for example. Also allows you to use wood that shrinks significantly in drying and thus doesn't produce use able timber. In India we have a tree called "neem" and the wood can be classy and inoffensive or it can be downright beautiful as neem has a high tendency to form burl. Problem is that it shrinks by like 12-17 percent volumetrically. Such a shame for such an insect resistant wood. Well, worry not! You can make highly stable veneer! Slicing it into sheets favorably directs shrinkage in a manner that doesn't result in too much cracking. Obviously, there's a lot I'm leaving out. Things like the degree of interlocking of the grain and shrinkage properties affect the possibility and ultimate thickness of what you cut and with what rate of success, but engineerd lumber has, for example, allowed someone like me to have equally good looking library wood panels that would cost factors more if made of edge-joined sawn lumber. Also eliminates the redundancy of heavy timber where it isn't of any structural importance. Reduces dead load on your house ect. I'm sorry for rambling, I'm just very impressed by your veneer plywood processing and manufacturing installations. I'm honestly surprised they aren't the subject of more interest.
