Color very much determines the style and atmosphere of a space. When choosing a veneer, it is best E to begin with color, i.e. -- light, medium, dark -- and review samples in this color range. Appearance C evaluations and the associated grade classifications will differ somewhat from mill to mill and species I

to species. All are based generally on the standards set by the Hardwood, Plywood & Veneer F Association (HPVA). Y

HPVA standards list “AA” as the highest grade of hardwood veneer. Most veneer mills have established I N an “architectural” grade to accommodate flitches that are virtually defect-free and have exceptional

dimensions. Also, “select,” or uniform veneers, which are cut from the heartwood, are usually more G expensive than their sapwood counterparts, since the heartwood represents the smallest portion of the tree. V

Voluntary grading standards have been adopted within the hardwood veneer industry. The industry grades E of face veneers as established by the HPVA and, in general, are accepted industry-wide by organizations such as AWI. The most uniform colors and grains are at the top of the scale for face grades and include: N E

Front Face Grade E

AA Architectural grade. The best quality face grade for high-end uses, such as architectural panel - R ing, doors and cabinets, case goods and quality furniture. Generally available by special order. A Where AA is not required, but excellent appearance is very important, as in cabinets and furni - ture. Select grade veneer for quality and color. A select veneer is composed of entirely heart - wood or sapwood and is matched for both grain pattern and color. If spliced, leaves must be spliced and book-matched for a pleasing effect of color and grain. Minor infrequent burls, pin knots and inconspicuous small patches are allowed. Frequency of defects depends on species. B Where the natural characteristics and appearance of the species are desirable. B grade is composed entirely of heartwood or sapwood, but is matched for color only. Similar to A grade, but allows more numerous and larger burls, pin knots and color streaks.

Panel back grades are designated by numbers: 1, 2, 3 and 4. Requirements for grade 1 are most restric - tive, with grades 2, 3, and 4 being progressively less restrictive. For wall panel application, the back grade is not as critical. It is necessary only to balance the panel, therefore a grade 4 back is sufficient. For two-sided panels, i.e. doors, the veneer will be visible, and in this case, an A1 grade is recommended.

Back Face Grade

1 Allows color variation, no large sound knots, tight knots cannot exceed 3/8" in diameter. Core laps are not permitted. Worm holes and splits are required to be filled. 2 Color is not a consideration. Sound knots cannot exceed 3/4" in diameter. Repaired core laps and repaired knots permitted. 3 Knot holes of 1" in diameter are permitted. 4 Reject back grade not sound. Allows many open defects.

E 2. Selecting Veneer Cuts

E The manner in which a log is cut with relation to the annual growth rings will determine the appearance of the veneer. When sliced, the individual pieces of veneer, referred to as “leaves,” are kept in the order N in which they are sliced, thus permitting a natural grain progression when assembled as veneer faces.

E The group of leaves from one slicing is called a “flitch” and is usually identified by a flitch number and the number of gross square feet of veneer it contains. V In veneer manufacturing, five principle methods of cutting (or slicing) are used: G • Plain Sliced (PS) / Flat Cut (FC) • Rift Cut

N • Half-Round Slicing • Rotary Cut (RC) I • Quarter Cut (QTR) Y

F Note that most architectural jobs specify flat-cut or quarter-cut veneers. Certain cuts and figures are only

I available in select veneers.

C Plain Sliced (PS) / Flat Cut (FC): E This is the slicing method used most often to produce veneers for high quality architectural woodwork -

P ing. Slicing is done parallel to a line through the center of the log. A combination of cathedral and straight

S grain patterns result, with a natural progression of patterns from leaf to leaf. This cut of veneer is ideally suited for wall panels and furniture because of the grain consistency and the ability to match sequences of leaves in book and end matches.

Half-Round Slicing: Half-round cut refers to a combination of plain slicing and rotary slicing. Segments or flitches of a log are mounted off center on the lathe, resulting in a cut slightly across the annular growth rings. This produces figures characteristic of both plain sliced and rotary-sliced veneers. Half-round slicing is used primarily to accentuate the grain in various woods, such as in burls or Bird's Eye Maple, or to gain a wider width on a cathedral on small dimension logs.

Balance Match E

Each panel face is assembled from veneer leaves of uniform C width. (When edge-trimmed the end leaves may be slightly I smaller.) This is usually more aesthetically pleasing than the F

Center-Balance Match E N Each panel face is assembled of an even number of veneer leaves

of uniform width. Thus, there is a veneer joint in the center of E the panel, producing horizontal symmetry. A small amount of fig - ure is lost in the process. This method increases the amount of E waste from a flitch, therefore increasing the cost. R

Special Matches Special matches can include names such as box, diamond, basket weave, sunburst and reverse diamond, reverse box and checkerboard match. Because there are no standardized names for these matches, it is strongly recommended that the design professional include both names and drawings for the match to be sure the desired match is achieved.

GLOSSARY

Backed Veneer G

Veneer that has been backed with special paper, laminate, backing veneer or other material. L O Backer

A non-decorative laminate used on the back of composite panel constructions to protect the substrate S

from changes in humidity and to balance the panel construction. S

Back A

The reverse side to the face of a plywood panel. Generally, the poorer side of any grade plywood panel R which has a face and a back. Y Balanced Construction A panel construction that will not warp when subjected to uniformly distributed moisture changes. Balanced Match Two or more veneer components or leaves of equal size to make up a single face. Birdseye Characterized by its scattered circles or ovals that have a similar appearance to that of a bird's eye. This type of figure is found almost exclusively in hard maple. Block Mottle Figure An irregular form of figuring which runs over the complete surface of the veneer. Book The most commonly used term for a bundle of veneer, especially by carpenters. This term comes from the veneer leaves following one after the other like pages in a book. Book Match Adjacent pieces of veneer from a flitch or log are opened like a book and spliced to make up a face with matching occurring at the spliced joints. This is the most popular matching method and creates a symmetrical pattern and a series of pairs. Bow The deviation from absolute flatness along the length of the panel. Burl (or Burr) Veneer Veneer obtained from rare woody outgrowths appearing on trees around grafts or injuries. This produces an appearance of a close arrangement of many small eyes or knots intermingled with distorted grain. The rare and unusual patterns of burls make them in high demand and are also more expensive, due to the small size of the veneer and scarcity. Differentiation is generally made between burl or burr growth above ground (elm, ash, oak) and root burl or burr growth that develops below ground in the root (Californian walnut, madrona, vavone, myrtle).
