Abstract: The invention relates to the production of decorative panels. The process for production according to the invention is characterized in that:an epoxy resin which is liquid and polymerizing at ambient temperature in the presence of a polymerization reagent having the least reactive character at the same temperature,fragments and/or pieces of wood previously heated to a homogeneous temperature higher than the peak temperature of exothermia of polymerization of the resin-reagent mixture,are used. The invention is more particularly applicable to the manufacture of decorative trays for tables.
