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.

Rift Cut:

Rift Cut veneer is cut on a radial angle toward the growth rings of the tree by slicing a quarter log to produce a cut that crosses both the growth rings and the rays at a slight angle, resulting in a straight grain effect. Rift Cut is similar to quartered but minimizes flake.

Book Matching:

White Oak comes Book Matched, a method 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.

Sequence Match and Numbered

Veneers are sliced one after the other from the same log. These sliced panels are kept in order of their slice and are numbered to create a pleasing sequence of veneered panels.

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.

A Grade Plywood:

The grading standard for Hardwood Plywood comes from the Hardwood Plywood and Veneer Association (HPVA). Grade A is the optimal choice when exceptional appearance is important. Under this grading standard small burls and pin knots are allowed, as well as slight blending mineral streaks. However, all defects in the A Grade must be slight or non-existent.

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. Clear, wide white oak lumber comes from the giant girth of the large White Oak tree. The tree can be as wide as it is tall. With a lifespan of up to 500 years, White oaks have been used in architecture and furniture for centuries. Less abundant and more desirable than Red Oak, White Oak is still fairly plentiful and sustainable. White oak is sustainably harvested throughout Eastern North America.

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.
