Some Defects in Veneer and Plywood

A veneer is a thin sheet of wood of uniform thickness, usually ranging from 0. 1 to 3 mm. It is either peeled from a log by a rotary lathe or sliced from a flitch by a slicer. Rotary veneers are usually intended for the manufacture of plywood, while sliced veneers are obtained from more valuable or highly decorative material for use as overlays to particleboard, hardboard, rawplywood and solidmouldings.
