Veneer and Its Uses
amount
VENEER AND ITS USES The manufacture of veneer has developed greatly in the last few years, and will undoubtedly increase in the future, since the uses for thin lumber of this sort are rapidly expanding. While much high-class veneer is used for furniture, musical instruments, etc., there is a growing demand for heavy veneer for the manufacture of boxes, crates, cases, drawer bottoms and the like. This explains the large amount of veneer made from such woods as yellow pine and cottonwood. According to government reports, the amount of native timber used for veneer in the United States in 1910 was as indicated in Table 108.
