Abstract
In producing a sheet of wood veneer having a large area adaptable for mass-production and adaptable to be made with various wood patterns, a log is divided into a plurality of individual flitches which are subsequently joined by adhesive to form a composite flitch. The composite flitch is subsequently sliced to form a sheet of wood veneer which may be joined to a substrate by adhesive. The sheet of veneer is formed while the wood is maintained with a moisture content more than the fiber saturation point of the wood.
