Large sheets of veneer
are produced on a machine similar to a lathe. The sheets are dyed, then compressed and bonded into thick (typically 70cm) logs. These logs are then sliced to create the end product. If the sheets are compressed between plattens with an undulating surface, the slice will cross several layers and produce a patterned effect. Many different finished designs can be obtained by varying the plattens, dyes and stacking order.
Although the product may be considered sustainable, it may have a high carbon footprint due to the numerous dyeing, laminating, pressing and slicing operations.
