1.Log Preparation: Select suitable logs, commonly using fast - growing woods such as poplar, ayous, or obeche. These logs are first processed to remove bark and any irregularities, ensuring a smooth surface for subsequent operations.
2.Veneer Slicing: The prepared logs are rotated around their axis on a rotary cutting machine. A sharp knife is positioned against the log to peel off thin layers of wood, creating raw veneer sheets. The thickness of these sheets is typically around 0.6 - 2.15 mm, and the length can vary according to production requirements.
