Abstract:
A method of producing cross-grained veneer, said method comprising quarter-slicing a flitch into veneer of desired thickness, by using a veneer peeling machine equipped with a knife having a wave-shaped face that runs continuously in a lengthwise direction, and flattening the veneer having an uneven surface by means of thermal fixing, thereby artificially forming a cross-grain on the surface of the veneer which assumes a straight-grain on its surface, wherein said knife is constructed such that a cutting edge of the knife waves in a widthwise direction of the knife and the troughs of the wave are disposed along a straight line extending in a lengthwise direction of the knife and the face of the knife is inclined and deviated by an angle which corresponds to a bias angle of the knife.
