Plywood |
|
 |
|
 |
|
| Hardwood Plywood is desired by architects and designers,
for its beauty and durability. According to the Hardwood
Plywood and Veneer Association plywood is stronger than steel
in static bending strength. LeNoble Lumber carries several
different species, including: Birch, Baltic Birch, Mahogany,
Cherry, Teak, Ash, Walnut, Sapele, Maple, and Select White
Maple. These are available in a variety of sizes and in different
types of veneer “cuts” and matching’s.
Scroll down for more information regarding various cuts and
figurings. Please call for availability of sizes and species. |

Plain (Flat) Sliced |
|
|
|
The half log, or flitch , is mounted with the heart side flat against the flitch table of the slicer and the slicing is done parallel to a line through the center of the log. This produces a distinct figure. |

Half-Round Sliced |
|
|
|
A variation of rotary cutting. Segments or flitches of the log are mounted off center on the lathe. This results in a cut slightly across the annular growth rings, and visually shows modified characteristics of both rotary and plain sliced veneers. |

Rift Cut |
|
|
|
Rift cut veneer is produced in the various species of Oak. Oak has medullary ray cells which radiate from the center of the log. The rift or comb grain effect is obtained by cutting at an angle of about 15% off of the quartered position to avoid the flake figure of the medullary rays. |

Quarter Sliced |
|
|
|
The quarter log or flitch is mounted on the flitch table so that the growth rings of the log strike the knife at approximately right angles, producing a series of stripes, straight in some woods, varied in others. |

| Rotary Cut |
| The log is mounted centrally in the lathe and turned against a razor sharp blade, like unwinding a roll of paper. Since the cut follows the log's annular growth rings, a multi-patterned grain marking is produced. Rotary cut veneer is exceptionally wide. |
