Abstract:
A method of veneering across an elongate corner of an elongate core, the method comprising:providing an elongate core having a first side and a second side that intersect to form an elongate seamless corner;providing a sheet of veneer sized to cover a desired portion of the core and the elongate corner, including an expanse of veneer on each side of the corner, the veneer having a core side for placement against the core and an exposed side opposite the core side;forming an elongate groove in the core side of the veneer, the groove having a generally triangular cross-section with an open side substantially coplanar with the core side of the veneer and two interior sides extending into the veneer to a point near, but not reaching, the exposed side of the veneer, the angle between the interior sides being configured to match the angle of the elongate core;applying the veneer to the core after forming the elongate groove by aligning the veneer over the portion of th core desired to be covered by the veneer, and by wrapping the veneer over the elongate corner with the groove aligned over the corner and with veneer on either side of the groove folded down against the core to thereby bring the two interior sides of the groove together; andpressing the veneer against the core by applying a first platen member in a direction perpendicular to the first side of the core, and simultaneously pressing a second platen member in a direction perpendicular to the second side of the core.
