1. A method of forming an engineered veneer block, the method comprising:
stacking a plurality of laminate layers to form a veneer stack, the plurality of laminate layers including a topmost laminate layer and a bottommost laminate layer opposite the topmost laminate layer;
contacting a topmost surface of the topmost laminate layer with a first conductor, the first conductor in contact with the entire topmost surface;
contacting a bottommost surface of the bottommost laminate layer with a second conductor, the second conductor in contact with the entire bottommost surface; and
resistive heating the veneer stack to cure an adhesive in the plurality of laminate layers by transmitting electrical energy between the first conductor and the second conductor through an entire thickness of each laminate layer of the plurality of laminate layers.
