Defects Developed in Drying Veneer 
A. — Rotary-cut red gum veneer, five-sixteenths of an inch thick, badly honeycombed in drying. 
The upper piece, which was sawed out of the middle piece, shows numerous internal checks. 
The sharp curvature of the connected prong of the middle piece indicates a severely stressed condi-

B.— End wrinkling produced in veneer by uneven drying. V
