A Veneer Maker, also known as a veneer technician or operator, produces thin sheets of wood (veneer) by cutting or peeling logs using specialized machinery, then inspects, sorts, and prepares these veneers for use in creating finished wood products like furniture, cabinetry, or architectural panels. Key responsibilities include operating lathes and slicers, assessing veneer quality for aesthetic properties like grain and knots, trimming and joining sheets, and collaborating with other team members to meet production specifications.
