Birch plywood is a popular choice for a variety of woodworking projects due to its distinct characteristics that give it an advantage over other types of plywood. Birch plywood is resistant to bending and warping over time, which is the reason for this. Because of its sturdy surface, it is easier to fasten with screws that hold firm due to its hollow-free compactness. It is a highly durable option for home or office spaces, and it is built to last and resist decay. Birch plywood has become a popular choice among plywood manufacturers due to its consistent and blemish-free surface.
Birch plywood is made from veneers that are sandwiched together with strong glue, usually at right angles, to give it extra strength and durability. The cross-bonding of the veneers results in a void-free core, as well as increased strength and resistance to shrinkage. Birch plywood is ideal for making furniture and children's toys because it does not have any jagged edges or knots. The plywood has a nice, rich sheen to it, which gives it an elegant appearance. It can be used stained or untreated, depending on the needs of the project.
Highest and best quality birch plywood
Birch plywood is a fine-grained wood material which is widely used in many applications such as cabinetry, desks, shelves, and other fixtures because it does not have splinters. Due to its void-free core, joineries such as dovetail are easy to make with the help of birch plywood. It is easy to work, sanded, and finished. Birch plywood also has thicker back and face veneers than used in many cabinet-grade plywood. Birch plywood is available in a variety of grades at Matilda Veneer, the highest being B/BB which features a whole-piece face with a uniform colour and no knots, patches, or streaks. Birch plywood comes in thicknesses of ¾, ½, and ¼ inches.
You can buy the best quality birch plywood from Matilda Veneer with a unique price advantage. It can be used with the combination of more expensive hardwoods to optimise the cost. It also works well with expensive hardwood floors. Birch is a plentiful, fast-growing tree species native to Northern Europe and Australia, so it is preferable to use this renewable resource because there is no loss of biodiversity when birch is felled.
Unique characteristics of walnut veneer
Another popular veneer is walnut veneer, which is increasingly being used in a variety of applications, including car interiors. Rolls-Royce and Bentley, for example, have used walnut veneer in the interiors of their limited edition vehicles. It resists warping and shrinkage well and can be easily nailed, glued, or screwed. It has a fine to moderately coarse texture and a light grayish brown to chocolate brown colour. The veneer has a medium porous to uniform grain and is nicely stained. Walnut veneer, like other tree veneers, retains all of the properties of the tree log from which it is made, including colour, grains, and other physical and mechanical properties.
Walnut veneer is used in high-end applications
This exotic wood variety displays rich colour which will vary based on the particular walnut species used in its construction. From American walnut to Australian walnut, and African walnut to European walnut, the finish and colour of walnut veneer vary. Walnut veneer, on the other hand, remains the most popular choice for high-end applications such as elegant interiors and bespoke kitchens. American walnut has exotic burrs, the majority of which are derived from the roots of nut-producing trees. European walnut is well figured when crown cut, the burr veneer from the stumps of walnut tree is particularly attractive. Australian walnut is the best quarter cut, while American walnut is particularly attractive in crown cut and straight grain. European walnut is among the most versatile ones with a range of cuts and finishes possible.
