The hollow bamboo stems are sawn - lengthways - into strips.
2.
The bamboo strips are pressed against each other horizontally (plain pressed) or sideways (side press) and glued under high pressure. The result is a panel or plank with the characteristic bamboo knots.
3.
Laminate the bamboo plank into a block, then conditioned and soaked in water.
4.
Bamboo veneer is sliced from blocks. Bamboo veneer is more difficult to produce than conventional solid wood veneers, due in part to the number of glue joints that reduce yield.
5.
The bamboo veneer is dried and selected. All sheets with defects are selected out and are cut to smaller sizes, the smaller sizes are then jointly to regular size by Kuper Longitudinal splicer.
6.
All selected (A grade) veneer is backed with cellulose fleece to give the product more stability and strength. Producing un-backed veneers is possible, but very fragile and hard to transport, this can result in a lower yield due to damaged material.
7.
Colour Selection and grading, where extremely light or dark colours are selected. Special colour indications for light and dark colours are marked on each package or pallet.
8.
Inspection every sheet before packaging, uniformly- sized veneers are well packed in cartons and strong pallet.
