WHAT IS A VENEER?
Veeners are very thin boards from wood. They are mostly used by restorers to produce or even to restore noble furniture. You can also use them for noble floors (in castles for example) and not at last to build fine musical instruments.

SAW-VENEERS
With a special sawingmachine the boards are sawed off from one lumber. The minimum thickness is here 1 to 1.5 millimeters. There occurs a lot of waste by producing saw-veneers, so they are very expensive. However, saw-veneers are always from the highest quality, very noble, from original coloredness and they have the typical, wonderful grain.
The Ludwig A. Bluhme KG possesses such a unique sawingmachine, which is the only one in whole Germany.
SLICE VENEERS
With a kind of oversized „plane“, the veneers are cut off the lumberblock. Steaming the wood is necessary to prevent a possible tearing. The steaming can cause minor differences from the original colour. If you cut from the quarterblock, you´ll get a striped structure on the veneer. By cutting a halfblock, you´ll get the natural grain.
Depending on the different cutting-styles, you get different decorative designs on the veneer. „Slice-veneers“ are not so expensive, because there occurs not so much waste during the production. „Slice-veneers“ can also be produced much thinner than „saw-veneers“. Thicknesses from 0.5 millimeters are possible.
