The new film shows the complete range of veneer production: Starting with the search for the “right” tree to the stripping of the bark, the cutting to length as well as the slicing or peeling of the tree logs through to the drying of the thin veneer sheets. “Depending on the girth (circumference), up to 5,000 sqm veneer can be produced from a single tree, because the natural material is extremely thin”, reported Ms Geismann.
The fine veneer sheets can be used to finish kitchen fronts and furniture or to transform lifestyle objects such as kiteboards or bags. Many fascinating possible uses of the natural materials are shown in the short videos of the IFN “VeneerStories” campaign at www.furniergeschichten.de.
