=====Description=====

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_veneer '''Veneers'''] are thin slices of wood which are glued on to the surface of a core material for decorative effect or '''[[Laminating|Laminated]]''' to each other to create '''[[Manufactured Board|Plywood]]'''. '''Veneers''' can also be glued together around '''[[Cold Moulding|Moulds]]''' to create curved forms.

=====Production Methods=====

In addition to the production of '''[[Manufactured Board|Plywood]]''' and '''[[Cold Moulding]]''', '''Veneers''' can be used as a means of preserving exotic or rare timber species by enabling the use of a single log to decorate a large number of products. The decorative effects are enhanced by the availability of veneers with almost identical grain patterns resulting from their being incrementally sliced from the same piece of timber. This feature is used to create various '''[[Veneering]]''' designs in which grain patterns are set against each other. Consecutive layers of '''Veneer''' are numbered and stacked together as they come off the machine to facilitate this use.

| '''Saw Cut Veneers'''
| Using a saw to cut veneers is uneconomic since the wasted saw '''[[Kerf]]''' can be as wide as the veneer thickness so it is rarely done commercially. But it is a good way of making veneers from very brittle timbers or those with complex grain patterns. It is most used to produce the thicker veneers needed for '''[[Cold Moulding]]'''.
