This relates to a panel of the type which includes a core covered by veneer and generally relates to a furniture panel. Such panels have a front edge which is contoured and is generally rounded. The panel in question has a generally rounded edge which terminates at the bottom thereof in a low radius portion, i.e., on the order of 2 mm. Because of this very low radius it is virtually impossible to take a single sheet of veneer and wrap it around such a radius. The problem is solved by using two separate veneers, an upper and a lower, and where the low radius edge portion is, machining a channel in the plug core and filling the channel with a projecting plug which then has the projecting portion thereof machines to provide a smooth continuous surface. Additionally, in order that there may be no demarcation of materials, the plug is formed of the same material as the veneers. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION In accordance with this invention, a laminated panel having a rounded edge of a relatively low radius portion is made by forming a channel in the panel in alignment with the low radius portion, placing a plug within such channel and thereafter machining the plug to the desired low radius to form a smooth contiguous surface with the veneer on the surface of the panel.
Preferably, the plug is formed of the same color material as the laminate so that the plug has the same visual appearance as the veneer.
Further, it has been found that when the plug is machined to the low radius curvature, adjacent portions of the veneer can also be slightly machined to provide for a smooth matching surface.
Finally, it has been found that if the veneer is first applied to the core and then the channel is machined in the core with the channel being in part formed by machining edge portions of the veneer, when the plug is applied to the core, the edges of the veneer will mate with the sides of the plug so as to eliminate any fissure between the veneers and the plug.
The veneer and the plug form smooth contiguous surfaces which appear as a single continuous surface.
As used herein, the term "veneer" is intended to refer generically to wood veneer or high pressure plastic, such as FORMICA plastic laminate.
With the above and other objects in view that will hereinafter appear, the nature of the invention will be more clearly understood by reference to the following detailed description, the appended claims, and the several views illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
