Description
A mid-price range new flagship product reflecting high recovery utilization of resource as peeling veneer yields high wood use to produce a light weight stable flat panel. Finishing can require medium surface grain fill levels and resin bonding is excellent. Due to the low density nature of Poplar this ply bends well and has a low stiffness rating. Machines, glues and works well with tungsten tip cutters to minimize fibrous end grain breakout. Great edge details, excellent substrate for bonding veneers or HPL Laminates.
