A conveyor system for conveying veneer sheets with spacings therebetween comprising a sheet supply conveyor for feeding a train of cut veneer sheets of a predetermined length in contact with one another, the cut sheet length measured in the direction of sheet feed; at least first and second conveyors arranged downstream of the supply conveyor to carry the cut sheets; a stick-and-carry conveyor spanning between the downstream end of the supply conveyor and the upstream end of the second conveyor, the circumferential length of the stick-and-carry conveyor being equal to an even number of times the specified length of the cut sheet, the stick-and-carry conveyor having nailing, or sticking, areas and non-nailing areas arranged alternately at the interval of the specified cut sheet length, the nailing area having a large number of nails embedded therein the stick-and-carry conveyor being driven so that the front of the nailing area will meet the front end of the cut sheet at a sticking operation start position; and a separation member provided downstream of the stick-and-carry conveyor to release the cut sheet stuck and carried by the sticking area from the nails and transfer it onto the second conveyor; whereby the cut sheets corresponding to the non-nailing area are carried to the first conveyor and those corresponding to the nailing area are carried to the second conveyor, thus distributing the train of cut sheets to the first and second conveyors alternately and providing a space equal to the cut sheet length between the cut sheets carried on the first or second conveyor.
