Manufactured boards
-
-
-
-
-
Facing manufactured board with thin veneer of quality timber such as oak, > they can be simulated at reasonable cost
-
Using waterproof adhesive during manufacturing, > it is possible to make water-resistant board
-

Veneers
-
-
-
As the log turns, a very sharp knife pushes against it and slices off a continuous thin sheet of veneer
Slice cutting
-
-
-
The log is cut into square shape, softened by steaming
Then mounted on a sliding table. Thin flat sheets of veneer are sliced off > by moving the log against a knife-edge
Plywood
-
Each ply > right angles to the one next to it, > resulting in very strong board
Most plywood has odd number of piles so > grain patterns in the outer plies > run in the same direction. > reduces the risk of shrinkage or wraping

-
Thickness: 4mm, 6mm, 9mm, 12mm, 18mm, 22mm, and 25mm
Applications: Packaging, flooring and marine plywood is used for making boats
-
Chipboard
-
-
Veneered on both sides or given a plastic coating because although it is quite strong and stable, it is easily damaged
-
-
Thickness: 12mm, 18mm and 22mm
Application: Veneered and melamine-faced chipboards are used for making kitchen counter tops and shelves
Fibreboard
-
-
Types of fibreboard include hardboard, insulation board and medium-density fibreboard
hardboard
-
Hardboard is cheap, light and easy to work with > but it's weak so the corners are easily damaged
Sometimes faced with veneer or a plastics coating or drilled with evenly spaced holes to make pegboard

Softboard
