Abstract:
1. A method for at least partially covering selected surfaces of a non-porous substrate with a flexible wood veneer, the method comprising the steps of: maintaining a humid environment, a relative humidity is maintained at approximately 40% for ambient temperatures in a selected temperature range during the covering of said substrate with said veneer so that the veneer in the environment is exposed to the humidity for flexibility of the veneer; applying an adhesive to one or both of said substrate and said veneer, said adhesive being preheated to a temperature selected on the basis of the temperature and the relative humidity in the environment; progressively shaping said veneer to said selected surfaces of said substrate through the application of pressure biasing said veneer against said selected surfaces; and curing the assembly of said veneer and said substrate.
