Barrel staves are recycled into a high value wood product. The longitudinally and laterally curved stave is initially trimmed along the edg es to eliminate the convergency of the side edges. The stave is then split longitudinally, following the longitudinal curve of the stave. Each section of the stave is then passed through a thickness planer where the thin stave section is flattened and planed to provide two parallel surfaces. The resultant planed stave sections are flattened and adhered to a substrate as a thick veneer. The composite product can than be used for such purposes as cabinet and furniture making.
