A veneer edge jointing apparatus which comprises a plurality of rows of conveyors (chains) for transporting a veneer piece until a trailing edge of the veneer piece in a direction of transportation comes to an abutting position; an adhesive-applying device for applying a hot melt adhesive to a leading edge of the transported veneer piece in the direction of transportation; and a bonding device for abutting the leading edge of the veneer piece transported by means of the conveyors against a trailing edge of a preceding veneer sheet in alignment with the abutting position, and then pushing and feeding the veneer piece to bond the veneer pieces to each other into a continuous veneer sheet. The bonding device is arranged at a position for substantially filling vacant regions in the direction of width orthogonal to the direction of transportation. The bonding device is provided with cooling panels comprising a lower cooling panel having a lower flat surface extending from upstream to downstream of the abutting position and an upper cooling panel having an upper flat surface. The veneer edge jointing apparatus can positively bond veneer pieces of poor quality, even lacking in strength or extremely wavy in shape, end to end with high quality.
