Wood veneer is widely used in the surface decoration of furniture and other products. It is a kind of wood flake with the characteristics of precious tree species.
Most tree species can be used as raw materials for making veneer. The veneer is mainly selected from high-quality wood that has no insect eyes, no knots, no cracks, similar color difference, and suitable texture in the wood. It is carefully processed by skilled workers and processed by fine woodworking machinery and equipment.
Wood Veneer History
The earliest use of wood veneer was discovered in Egypt 4,000 years ago. Because the local area is a tropical desert area, there are few plants and wood resources are scarce, but the ruling class loves and pursues precious wood.
In this case, people invented the method of cutting the wood, and sawing the wood to a very thin thickness with the technology at that time, so as to increase its utilization rate and utilization rate, and at the same time meet the ruling class's demand for gorgeous wood grain. It is also the prototype of today's veneer.
In the 19th century, with the rise of the industrial revolution and the use of advanced machinery and equipment, the veneer industry began to develop rapidly in Europe, and has experienced rapid development in the Paris area of France, the Hamburg area of Germany, the Milan area of Italy, and the Valencia area of Spain. In addition, the area near Louisville in the United States also gathered a large number of veneer merchants. Since 1960, veneer has been widely used in Europe, America and other countries.
Chinese Wood Veneer
Compared with western countries, the development of China's veneer industry started relatively late. In the past 20 years, China's Interior decoration industry has sprung up in the world.
At present, areas including China's Dongguan, Shanghai, Zhejiang Jiashan, Zhejiang Huzhou, Northeast Mudanjiang, Shandong Linyi and other regions have also gathered a large number of professional veneer professionals, forming a professional veneer distribution center.
The veneer industry has been developing in China for more than 20 years. After a period of rapid development, with the implementation of timber restriction policies in major timber supplying countries and the gradual improvement of people's awareness of environmental protection, especially the ban on export of logs, timber Raw material becomes strained.
The wide publicity and popularity of wood veneer has made consumers gradually shift their attention to products with wood veneer for board surface decoration, which cost a lower price and enjoy roughly the same effect as solid wood.
Therefore, veneer is very popular as a decorative product, which has promoted the further development of the veneer industry, and its use in various fields has gradually become more widespread. At the same time, the veneer market resources are highly integrated and optimized, which further promotes the further development of veneer.
