Back Generally a lower grade veneer than that of the opposing side of the same panel when a higher grade face is specified. Barber poleA phenomenon in a book matched face wherein adjacent components appear alternately dark and light due to the presence of lathe checks on the loose side of the veneer refracting light and absorbing slightly more finishing …

Between the time panels are manufactured and put into their final application, there are many opportunities for hardwood plywood panels to be damaged. The following handling and storage tips should be observed at every step along the route to ensure the panels reach their final destination unscathed. Handling Minimize Movement The best way to minimize handling damage is by handling …

Veneer can be sliced or cut from different sections of the log: from the heartwood or innermost portion, from the sapwood or outer layer, or from a combination of both heartwood and sapwood. When these veneers are composed into full sheets, the manner in which they are matched, the part of the log from which they come and their relative appearance …

Types of Veneer Cuts Depending on the manner in which a log is cut, strikingly different visual effects can be achieved with the wood’s grain and characteristics. Two logs of the same species, cut in different ways, produce distinctive, individual veneers. ROTARY CUT The entire log is cut or “peeled.” Can yield full sheets of veneer. Grain pattern is broad …

Veneer Core Veneer Core is produced by placing the “lines” of core veneers into the panel “sandwich” so that adjacent plies having a grain direction oriented at approximate right angles to each other. Veneer core panels are relatively light in comparison with composite core panels, typically weighing about 70 pounds per 3/4″ panel. Veneer core offers superior physical properties than either …

Plain Sliced Veneer (PS) The half log, or flitch, is mounted with the heart side flat against the flitch table of the slicer. The slicing is done parallel to a line through the center of the log to produce a distinct figure. Rotary Whole Piece Face Veneer (R) The entire log is cut or “peeled.” It can yield full sheets …

VeneerConstructed using innerplies composed of western softwoods. Veneer core panels are lightweight, dimensionally stable and have excellent screwholding capacity. Hardwood Cross Band (HXB)Combines the smooth finish of a hardwood veneer crossband beneath the hardwood face and back with the strength and durability of western softwood veneer innerplies. Together they create an excellent hardwood plywood panel that is smoother and has …

PLAIN SLICEDThis method is one of the most common means of slicing plywood. Frequently it results in a combination of familiar “cathedral” pattern and straighter grain.ROTARY CUTThe entire log is cut or “peeled.” It can yield full sheets of veneer where the grain pattern is broad with no plain or quarter sliced appearance.RIFT CUTA cut angle of 15º to the …
