Abstract

See full text

This disclosure is directed to methods of separating wood veneer material by property measurements, and thereafter improving the properties of veneer material with property values lower than a target threshold value, until those materials meet or exceed that threshold values. In some aspects of the disclosure, veneer materials are prepared, non-destructively measured, and separated into passing and failing material collections. The failing material collection may then be treated to improve the density and flexural modulus of the material therein. Also disclosed herein are products and materials incorporating the treated veneer materials according to the disclosed methods.
