Plywood Slicing Information

Hardwood and decorative softwood veneers which are the visible faces of hardwood plywood panels are cut from the trunk or root of the tree. The tree is sliced up into thin sheets of wood called flinches. These flinches are then glue-stitched together in various matching sequences (see plywood matching) to create the face and back veneers of plywood panel.

The manner and angle of the slicing produces different grain patterns in the flinches creating the final appearance of the panel.
