'Peeler' Logs are debarked, then if they're hardwood logs, they're soaked in hot water until they get soft. Then, for the most common type of veneer - 'rotary veneer' - the log is mounted onto a large veneer lathe. The lathe is equipped with a knive carriage that includes a 'nose bar', which limits the depth of cut. The entire log is peeled in a large sheet - like unrolling toilet paper. For other types of veneer the concept is similar, except the log is mounted on a large machine that moves up and down, taking 'slices' of the log. This is called flitch cut, and results in a more natural looking veneer. Also, sequential cuts can make up a 'book' of veneers which, when matched in different ways, make symetrical patterns.
