Hardwood Plywood
Hardwood Plywood is defined by the types of slicing, matching, and grade of the wood product. With various methods of slicing and matching, veneers can be customized to each wood species and project, resulting in multiple exceptional options to make any project uniquely artful.
Quarter Sliced
Quarter Slicing occurs when a log is cut at a right angle to the growth rings and parallel to the rays, resulting in a relatively straight grain veneer. This slice creates a uniform display of grain across the face that is both dimensionally stable and visually appealing.
Book Matched:
Book Matched Plywood is a method of matching in which every other leaf or component of veneer from a log is turned over to produce its mirror image at the joint. Like turning the pages of a book, this matching method produces an aesthetically pleasing appearance across the face.
Why White Oak?
- Highly durable and strong
- Glues, stains and finishes well
- Easily workable and machinable
- Excellent exterior strength and moisture-resistance
Hardwood Plywood products are made from beautiful hardwood, designed to showcase the stunning figure and allure of wood. Often stained or finished, these thin sheets are assembled using an engineered core—from veneer core, particleboard, to medium density fiberboard.

1 Grade Plywood
Generally, hardwood plywood veneer faces are grade A-D and the back grades are 1-4. Here, the face veneer uses the back grade 1. 1 Grade Plywood allows for some colour variation and sound tight knots. It is a high quality grade with few imperfections and is a smooth, consistent surface.
Grading Hardwood Plywood is inherently a subjective and difficult process, as although the standard gives rules for specific numbers of defects, there is always personal or operational bias when it comes to the overall appearance of a particular surface. From one grade to the next, not only does variation in appearance get wider, but the amount of overlap between the low end of one grade and the higher end of the next grade down gets wider as well. Because of the inherent individuality of each tree and species, consideration should be given to the overall appearance of the veneer face to determine the appropriate grade for that veneer.
Please consult with your Sales or Specifications Representative, as we can help you determine what is acceptable to you for colour, flitch size, size and amount of pin knots, rough grain or other defects in order to get you the product that works best for your applications.
Sustainability:
White Oak trees are native to North America and are widely dispersed throughout the Eastern half of the continent. In the United States, White Oak is the second most abundant hardwood species, representing 16% of standing hardwood timber. Harvest rates versus growth rates based on US Forest Service census numbers show that 50% more White Oak is growing annually than is being harvested. White Oak is a sustainably harvested and abundant timber.
We recognize the importance of ethically harvested lumber. As our most valuable resource, sustainably harvested forests increase the rate of carbon sequestration and significantly cut carbon emissions. Wood is a renewable and sustainable material for the built environment, requiring less energy than alternatives like concrete or steel. From harvesting to recycling, lumber is the most carbon-efficient choice for building materials. Wood is of the few elements that can increase sustainability in a building’s life cycle, reduce waste, and create positive biophilic health benefits. Increasingly, architects and designers are calling for a return to wood as the prominent basic building material.
As an early adopter of FSC®, we recognize the importance of sustainably harvested lumber. FSC® Certified lumber is available upon request. Contact your Sales or Specifications Representative for more information.
