Flat Veneer? It All Depends. After slicing, each sheet of veneer is laid flat and put through a dryer. Most straight-grained and many figured veneers will remain very flat after the process is completed because cells in the wood fibers release their moisture in a relatively uniform manner. Contraction and shrinking remain relatively uniform across the sheet. Burl and highly figured woods, however, have grain that travels in many directions. As the sheet dries, it shrinks at different rates, causing some areas to buckle and others to bulge. With such movement, it’s a wonder that some of the woods yield any usable veneer at all.
