6 – Moulded under pressure the shape of this produces the structure of the finish. A flat die allows a “grain” finish to be produced, undulating dies allow a “slab” effect.
7 – An oblique slicing of the block produced is then carried out. The more or less open angle of the slice allows the production of a grain that is more or less fine. The result is a sheet of veneer that is stained in bulk with the chosen finish and is very resistant to impact thanks to the glue and compaction.
8 – The resistance to impact, as well as the appearance, can be appreciably improved by taking the sheets sliced in this way and reconsituting another block, which will then be resliced by starting operation 5 again (this is the double-slicing technique).
