ABSTRACT:
This relates to a panel of the type which includes a core covered by veneer and generally relates to a furniture panel. Such panels have a front edge which is contoured and is generally rounded. The panel in question has a generally rounded edge which terminates at the bottom thereof in a low radius portion, i.e., on the order of 2 mm. Because of this very low radius it is virtually impossible to take a single sheet of veneer and wrap it around such a radius. The problem is solved by using two separate veneers, an upper and a lower, and where the low radius edge portion is, machining a channel in the plug core and filling the channel with a projecting plug which then has the projecting portion thereof machines to provide a smooth continuous surface. Additionally, in order that there may be no demarcation of materials, the plug is formed of the same material as the veneers.
