Grades Available For Knotty Pine Hardwood Plywood

A4
-This grade will have an "A" face (front) and a "4" back. "4" grade permits open defects. These can be, but are not limited to, splits, bark pockets and knot holes.

A1
-This is the highest grade that is produced. Used for architectural paneling, quality furniture, cabinetry or any other application where the best appearance is needed.

Veneer Core Plywood
-This is the strongest type of plywood. The grain is laid and bonded running at right angles to adjacent plies causing the grain to lock reducing shrinkage in width. It gives strength in all directions. The panel does have an overall grain running lengthwise. This grain direction provides the panel with its greatest strength.

Lumber Core Plywood
-Lumber Core plywood is made in much the same way as Veneer Core plywood with exception of the core. The core is a strip of solid lumber with thickness of up to 1 inch. The edges of lumber core plywood will hold screws fast.
