I) It's done on a saw fitted out with a travelling crane.

The pattern appearing on the veneer depend on this stage, a fondamental stage for the precious species we work with.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

II) 5 INOX steamrooms and 2 hot water rooms warned by a 2200 kg/ hour boiler totally automatic and by a wood boiler which enables us to recycle all our wood wastes.This stage enables the colouring of the wood and makes the slicing easier.

A skilful regulation of the steam is necessary to obtain a perfect dolour.

 

 

 

 

III) Four slicers (2 RFR, 1 VALETTE ET GARREAU and 1 SALMSON) and one CREMONA rottaring machine.

Each of these machines has been technically modified and adapted by ourselves to fit with the density of each kind of wood (walnut, Mahogany, burls...) and to improve the quality of slicing. Thanks to all these processing secrets we produce high quality veneers.

 

 

 

 

IV) A tunnel drier whith an inox "belt".

The temperature is regulated within about to a degree thanks to a heat engine boiler driven by computer.

each wood is processed differently according to its nature. For the same species of wood, the time of drying can be different because each log has its own physical request.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

V) CUTTING : last stage.

Choosing the best compromise between length, color and possible flaws, laking the best of the wood patterns, this is what is required from the man at the guillotine. He must all the time bear in mind what is know of the final market and its fluctuations.
