ABSTRACT:
A method of forming a flitch and producing novel sheets of veneer which includes the steps of joining a plurality of veneer sheets in a face-to-face relationship, applying pressure to bond the sheets and form the flitch, coating the ends of the formed flitch to resist checking and splitting, heating the flitch in an oven and thereafter cooking the flitch in a water bath for a period of time sufficient to place it in condition for slicing. The flitch is then removed from the bath, cooled for a period of time, prepared for the slicing operation, and sliced into thin sheets of veneer which are passed through a dryer thus resulting in a new veneer sheet having a novel texture and surface pattern. This manufactured flitch when sliced vertically will yield veneer sheets having a quarter grain or striped pattern. Veneer of varying patterns can be obtained by placing a substantially circular rod longitudinally under the formed flitch to provide an upper exterior surface curvature. The flitch can be cut horizontally, vertically, and in between these two limits to provide a variety of patterns.
