Specific Data

EDGEBANDING
 We can apply wood veneer, PVC or impregnated paper edge banding on 1, 2, 3 or 4 edges as directed.
COUNTER FRONT PANELS
With a 5'x10' press we can produce counter front or island panels up to 8' and 10' wide and in lengths from 48" down to approximately 31" -- i.e., the grain runs the short way. We can produce counter front sizes in as thin a panel as 3/16".
UNIDIRECTIONAL PLYWOOD
We produce unidirectional plywood in a limited volume for drawer sides, etc. There are several variations, including 5-ply Luan with the grain running the long way in 4'x8' sizes, all subject to special quotations as given in periodic bulletins. We also produce an Oak two-side or Maple two-side, etc, face panel of unidirectional construction with the interior plies in species other than the face specie. We have limited availability of an all-Oak unidirectional panel in 4'x6'.
BENDING PANEL
We can supply a two-ply bending panel for such purposes as Lazy Susans, etc, to meet bending requirements with specific veneers in furniture manufacturing.
SEQUENCE MATCHED PANELS
We produce sequence matched and numbered panels in sliced woods in lengths of 8' to 10', with a relatively low "up charge."
TYPE I GLUE LINE PANELS
With a minimum quantity of 300, we can produce panels using Type I Glue.
