Veneer Technology Manual

The Timber Veneer Association of Australia reminds all veneer users and specifiers that copies of the recently updated TVAA manual, simply titled Veneer, are still available on request, free of charge.

Veneer explains the technical terms used in specifying and supplying various types of veneer and shows how different visual effects can be achieved such as book matching, slip matching, and so on. The manual also covers topical issues including carbon storage, fire hazard and chain of custody certification.

The Veneer manual is one of the most commonly downloaded publications from the TVAA website at www.timberveneer.asn.au, but some in the industry prefer to have a hard copy for easy reference and TVAA is happy to oblige.

To obtain a copy of Veneer, send postal address details to info@timberveneer.asn.au or phone the TVAA Info Line on 1300 303 982.

For the serious veneer user A Manual for Decorative Wood Veneering Technology contains all the answers. Written by Dr Barbara Ozarska, Leader of the Forest Products Research Group at the University of Melbourne, the manual is an authoritative guide to all the factors involved in the successful use of wood veneers.

The latest edition expands upon the 1^st edition, released in 2003, and incorporates the latest research results, including advice on dealing with potential discolouration of veneers exposed to UV light. Graphics and diagrams have been expanded and updated.

The TVAA acknowledges the funding assistance of Forest & Wood Products Australia in producing A Manual for Decorative Wood Veneering Technology, which ensured that this important resource could be made available to all users of veneer products.

A Manual for Decorative Wood Veneering Technology is not available in hard copy but can be downloaded from the Association’s website at www.timberveneer.asn.au along with many other publications providing practical advice.
