 There is little record of the early implementation of the rotary lathe and the subsequent commercialization of plywood as we know it today, but in its 1870 edition, the French dictionary "Robert" describes the process of rotary lathe veneer manufacturing in its entry "Déroulage".One can thus presume that rotary lathe plywood manufacturer was an established process in France in the 1860s.Plywood was introduced into the United States in 1865 and industrial production started shortly after.
