HARDWOOD PLYWOOD
Hardwood Plywood may be ordered in a variety of veneers, cores, thicknesses, species and grades. All feature strength, durability, workability and good finishing characteristics.

American Ash
All our hardwood plywood panels are produced in accordance with the American National Standard for Hardwood and Decorative Plywood, ANSI/HPVA HP-1-1994.
Hard Maple Red Oak Soft Maple
The following standard grades are available:
A-1: The face veneer of A-1 is smooth, tight-cut and full-length. When the face veneer consists of more than one piece, the veneer edges are book matched. Slip matched faces are available on request. All species, either rotary cut or plain sliced, may contain color streaks, occasional small burls and pin knots or small, inconspicuous repairs. The back will be a sound veneer, free from open veneer characteristics but not necessarily matched for color and grain.
G.P. Select Eugene® and Savannah® Panel
B-2: The face veneer of B-2 grade is sound and may have various growth characteristics, such as burls, pin knots and small repaired knots, but allows no open areas. When the face veneer consists of more than one piece, matching for color and grain is required. The back veneer is solid with open characteristics repaired.
G.P. Artisan®
C-2: The veneer is a C-2 grade panel with slightly more growth characteristics allowed on the face and a sound repaired back.
G.P. Craftsman
C-3: The C-3 grade panels are designed for the customer who wants a sound, attractive face and whose use will allow a back that permits more and larger repairs.
G.P. Cabinet Grade

D-3: Our cabinet grade D-3 grade panel is best described as an economy grade. All natural growth characteristics are permitted on the face and back, but no open areas are allowed.
G.P. Permagard® UV
UV: A topcoated hardwood plywood allows cabinet manufacturers to cut labor costs by purchasing hardwood plywood while benefiting from the quality assurances inherent in the G-P name. Featuring a factory-applied clear topcoat, consisting of an acrylate that is 100% solids, produced through a flat-line finishing process, Permagard® UV is the ideal product for kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanity interiors, shelving, and drawer sides and bottoms.
Core Construction

Veneer Core
The most common core type, with all inner plies made from softwood or hardwood veneer. Employs a standard cross-ply technique with three, five, seven or nine plies (including the face and back) used to produce the final panel. Structural strength and stability make veneer core panels particularly suited to cabinet and casework.
Veneer Matching
Book- Matched: Accomplished by turning over every other piece of progressive veneer peeled from the same log. The finish face resembles the open pages of a book, with opposite patterns Identical.
Slip- Match: Progressive pieces of veneer are joined side by side, same sides up.The resultis a grain pattern more uniform than book- match.
Whole- Piece: Uses a single piece of veneer to edpose a continuous grain characteristic across the entire panel.
Pleasing Match: The face veneer is matched for color at the veneer joint but not necessarily matched for grain characteristics.
Random Matched: The veneer is assembled with no regard for color, pattern or grain uniformity, usually back panels.

Veneer Matching Examples
Type of Veneer Cuts
The manner in which veneers are cut is an important factor in producing the various visual effects obtained. Two logs of the same species, with their veneers cut differently, will have entirely different visual characters even though their colors are similar.
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 annual growth rings, a bold variegated grain marking is produced. Eighty to ninety percent of all veneers cut by the rotary lathe method.
PLAIN OR FLAT SLICING - The half log, or flitch, is mounted with the heart side flat against the guide plate of the slicer and the slicing is done parallel to a line through the center of the log. This produces a variegated figure that's similar to sawn lumber.
HALF-ROUND SLICING - A method of cutting in which log segments are mounted off-center in the lathe. This results in a cut slightly across the annual growth rings, and visually shows modified characteristics of both rotary and plain sliced veneers. This method of cutting is often used on red and white oak.
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 like the curved spokes of a wheel. The rift or comb grain effect is obtained by cutting perpendicularly to these medullary rays either on the lathe or slicer.

Veneer Core Specifications
Standard Thicknesses Veneer Ply: 1/2" - 5 Ply, 5/8" - 7Ply, 3/4" - 7Ply and 9 Ply Standard Size Veneer Ply: 4' x 8' Panels. Also available in 4' x 6', 4' x 7' Special orders.
ABOUT SANDED PLYWOOD:
Manufactured For Strength
Composed of layers of thin sheets of veneer, plywood provides greater strength and uniform stability than most other structural panels available today. Since wood is strongest along the grain, and shrinks and swells most across the grain, plywood is constructed by alternating the direction of the grain between adjacent layers. This process maximizes strength and stiffness for the long panel axis (8' direction) while minimizing shrinking and swelling in both directions to deliver the best long-term panel performance.
Plywood, the preferred structural panel of quality-conscious homeowners and builders for more than 30 years, satisfies the demand for a durable building material like no other panel in the marketplace. And as a manufacturer, Georgia-Pacific matches the dependability of its plywood panels with its history of proven performance and production of quality materials.
Plywood Grades and Sizes:
A variety of panel grades are available based on the face and back veneer quality. A common "good one side" product is AC, referred to by the APA - The Engineered Wood Association - as "suitable for painting", and sporting a solid face with limited natural imperfections and repairs.
Exposure Durability Classification
Interior, Exposure 1 and Exterior: Plywood grades are AA, AB, and BB
Exterior: Plywood grades are AC and BC
Interior, Exterior: Plywood grade is BD
Interior: Plywood grade is AD
Reading Plywood Grade Stamps
· Grade Designation
· Exposure Durability
· Species Group
· Panel Thickness
Standard sanded plywood dimensions are 48 by 96 inches, although some manufactures are equipped to produce longer and wider panels.
Common thicknesses are1/4, 9/32, 11/32, 15/32, 19/32, 23/32 and inch.
The Exposure Durability Classification defines whether the panel should be used for interior or exterior applications:
o5 Species Groups
Plywood can be manufactured from over 70 species of wood under U.S. Product Standard PS 1-95 for Construction and Industrial Plywood. These species are divided according to strength and stiffness into five group's -Groups 1 through 5. Group 1 species are the strongest and stiffest. Group 2 the next strongest. and so on through Group 5.
o Veneer Grades (Face Type )
N Grade: Smooth surface "natural finish" veneer. Select, all heartwood or all sapwood. Free of open defects. Allows not more than 6 repairs, wood only, per 4' x 8' panel, made parallel to grain and well matched for grain and color.
A Grade: Smooth, Paintable. Not more than 18 neatly made repairs, boat, sled, or router type and parallel to grain, permitted. Wood or synthetic repairs permitted. May be used for natural finish in less demanding applications.
B Grade: Solid surface shims, sled or router repairs, and tight knots to 1 inch across grain permitted. Wood or synthetic repairs permitted. Some minor splits permitted.
C (Plugged) Grade: Improved C veneer with splits limited to 1/8 inch width and knotholes or other open defects limited to 1/4 x 1/2 inch. Wood or synthetic repairs permitted. Admits some broken grain.
C Grade: Tight knots to 1- 1/2 inch. Knotholes to 1 inch across grain and some to 1- 1/2 inch if total width of knots and knotholes are within specified limits. Synthetic or wood repairs. Discoloration and sanding defects that do not impair strength permitted. Limited splits allowed. Stitching permitted.
D Grade: Knots and knotholes to 2-1/2 inch width across grain and 1/2 inch larger within specified limits. Stitching permitted. Limited to Exposure 1 or Interior panels.
