<p>A method of cutting a wood block and a veneer lathe are disclosed. Two groups (27,61) of first plural contact members (27) and second plural contact members (61) disposed around the wood block (W) for supporting the wood block (W) from the periphery thereof and each having a contact portion contactable with periphery of the wood block. The first and the second contact members (27,61) are spaced away from each other along the spin axis (Q) of the wood block so as to form a space between any two adjacent contact members, respectively, and arranged in such a way that a part of the contact member of one group is insertable into the space between any two adjacent contact members of the other group when the wood block is cut to a predetermined reduced diameter so that the wood block is continued to be supported further.</p> |
