Wood is an organic natural material, a dual product of nature and humans, and the types of trees are influenced by weather, geographical location, soil, and other factors. What determines its quality is its durability, processing potential, and side effects in processing capabilities. From an aesthetic perspective, color, structure, texture, glossiness, and even odor also play important roles, and the characteristics of different types of wood veneer also determine which one it will be applied to. For example, can a certain tree species be used to make chairs or cabinets.

With the development of the world economy, there is an increasing demand for natural wood resources by humans. People have invented the use of machines to cut wood veneer, reducing its thickness from 3mm to 0.5mm today, and even to 0.1mm.
