Abstract:
Method of manufacturing an artificially figured veneer or an artificially figured board, comprising the steps of:1) preparing a set of multiple sheets of veneer material by rotary cutting a log or repeatedly cutting a wood flitch of a same kind of wood, wherein said multiple sheets have sequential grains; 2) embossing simultaneously said multiple sheets whose number is determined according to a static bending strength (proportional limit) and specific gravity of the sheets, with a pair of upper and lower press dies respectively having concave-convex patterns corresponding to a site of a figure of a natural wood on a die face of the upper press die and a die face of the lower press die, to form a concave-convex pattern on the sheets; 3) laminating the set of thus embossed multiple sheets to form a laminate such that the grains of said multiple sheets again become sequential by interposing an adhesive layer between each of the sheets, placing the set between the upper and the lower press dies, and then pressing; and 4) cutting the laminate obtained in a direction crossing a plane of lamination to manufacture the artificially figured veneer or the artificially figured board with a desired thickness.
