1. A method for treating wood veneer, the method comprising:

providing at least one sheet of wood veneer;

coating at least one side of the at least one sheet of wood veneer with an aqueous coating composition comprising nanocellulose in an amount between 4 to 18% by weight, calculated of the weight of the total coating composition, the nanocellulose having apparent viscosity between 8,000 and 22,000 mPa·s after the aqueous coating composition comprising the nanocellulose is mixed for about 10 minutes at about 300 rpm and then mixed for about 2 minutes at 14,000 rpm, in a consistency of 5% by weight at a temperature of 20 ° C. to obtain a coated sheet of wood veneer; and

drying the coated sheet using compression pressure and heat.
