Читать книгу Woodworker's Guide to Veneering & Inlay (SC) - Jonathan Benson - Страница 14

Because veneers are such an efficient use of a limited material, the best logs usually are separated and sent to the veneer mill. There, they are stripped of bark and milled to the size and shape that best utilizes the particular characteristics of each log. The way of cutting the veneer from a log will yield different grain patterns and types of figure. The resulting grain or figure pattern for each type of cut also will vary according to the wood species. The basic methods for cutting veneer from a log are illustrated in the sidebar on pages 20 and 21. All methods use a large knife to slice the veneer from the unseasoned log.
