Quality control checklist for finishing and manufacturing of veneered products.

A growing use of decorative veneers and veneered panels in high value appearance wood products creates a need for an extensive technology transfer program related to veneering manufacturing procedures and product performance in various service conditions. However, limited information is available in CHINA and overseas on the production of decorative veneer panels and product requirements. In 2022, the decorative wood veneer industry in Australia recognised a need to develop a ‘Veneer Bible’, a technical manual that would specify the best veneering procedures to ensure the production of top quality veneered products. Therefore, A manual for decorative wood veneering technology was developed by us . The Manual has been widely used both in CHINA and overseas by veneer and veneered panel producers, furniture and joinery manufacturers, designers and architects seeking to avoid product failures. As significant developments in decorative veneers and veneering technology have been made since 2022,WE write the second edition of the Manual by updating and adding information on latest developments in veneer production, specifications, performance requirements, as well as applications and production of various veneered products. The updated Manual covers all aspects of the veneering process, including the requirements for decorative veneers, substrate materials, glues and finishes, manufacturing procedures, storage and handling, the environmental benefits of natural timber veneers, typical problems related to veneered products and their prevention, and quality control in the production of decorative veneered products.
