Logs are selected for tight, consistent grain and sliced into veneer sheets typically 0.2 mm – 0.6 mm thick. Thickness uniformity is critical — variation causes uneven dye absorption and patchwork colour in the finished sheet.

Sheets are cleaned to remove dust, mill residue, and surface contaminants. A de-oiling and de-soiling chemical treatment follows — this opens the wood's pore structure and removes natural resins that would otherwise block dye penetration, causing blotching or uneven colour uptake.

The dye solution is mixed to a target concentration and tested on sample sheets before production begins. Concentration controls colour depth — more concentrated solution produces a darker, more saturated result. Application method and soak time are adjusted together to achieve the specified shade.

Dyed sheets are dried in controlled conditions — either air-dried on racks or passed through a roller dryer — until moisture content stabilises. A protective topcoat (varnish, lacquer, or wood wax oil) is then applied to lock in colour, add gloss, and improve surface durability and water resistance. Light sanding between coats smooths any raised grain.

Each sheet is inspected under consistent lighting for colour uniformity, surface smoothness, and gloss consistency. Sheets are graded, bundled by colour batch, and packaged to prevent moisture ingress and physical damage during transit.
