The article is oriented at investigation of beech veneer compression by cyclical pressing. We selected different methods of cyclical pressing (procedures A, B, and C), which differed in pressing and releasing of compressive force. Also we selected different initial moisture content of veneers (8 % and 16 %) and pressing temperature (20 °C, 100 °C, 150 °C). We investigated veneer thickness and its change after pressing at degree of pressing of 30 %. All selected factors influence veneer thickness significantly.
