Veneer – the pinnacle of timber utilisation?
How is high-quality veneer produced from a selected tree trunk? What factors are important when selecting a trunk, and what stories lie behind special types of wood such as centuries-old bog oaks?
Tobias Scherg, CEO of Roser AG, discusses these and other topics in the latest episode of the ‘HOLZCHÖPF’ podcast from our webshop partner, Holzplatten AG.
In conversation with Oliver Smart, Managing Director of Holzplatten AG, Tobias Scherg offers fascinating insights into the world of veneer. He explains how suitable logs are selected and processed, the challenges involved in international timber sourcing, and where Roser AG’s veneers are used in Switzerland and beyond.
The conversation, which lasts around 39 minutes, demonstrates just how much experience, expertise and passion are required to transform a tree trunk into high-quality veneer for sophisticated furniture, doors and interior design projects.
As well as technical topics, the discussion also covers entrepreneurship, responsibility in dealing with wood as a natural raw material, and the fascination with veneers, some of which tell stories stretching back thousands of years.
A heartfelt thank you to Oliver Smart and the team at Holzplatten AG for the invitation and the interesting conversation.
