  • Patent number: 4465539
    Abstract: A new artificial veneer resembling expensive natural wood veneers can be manufactured by a new method from an inexpensive raw log, wherein a wood-meal containing veneer is first obtained by slicing in quartersawn grain direction a primary artificial flitch of many material veneers of the inexpensive raw log stacked and bonded with a wood-meal layer interposed between them, and many of the wood-meal containing veneers are stacked and bonded, with the material veneers alternately interposed as they stand or as further processed, into a secondary curved artificial flitch, which is sliced in flatsawn grain direction into the new artificial veneers presenting a grain pattern similar to that of the expensive wood with minutely raised and recessed uneven surface at simulated porous zones by the wood-meal containing veneers.
