MEGAPly^® Veneer Options

MEGA is a leading manufacturer of domestic hardwood plywood with an offering that includes all of the common hardwood species. All of our hardwood plywood panels are made with a hand selected face veneer applied to either a softwood veneer or composite substrate.

Plain Sliced Veneer (PS)

The half log, or flitch, is mounted with the heart side flat against the flitch table of the slicer. The slicing is done parallel to a line through the center of the log to produce a distinct figure.

Rotary Whole Piece Face Veneer (R)

The entire log is cut or “peeled.” It can yield full sheets of veneer with broad grain pattern and no plain or quarter-sliced appearance.

Quarter Sliced Veneer (QTR)

Quarter slicing produces a series of stripes — straight in some woods, varied in others. A flake pattern is produced when slicing through medullary rays in some species, principally oak. Most species produce the same look as rift cut.

MEGAPly^® Core Options

Veneer
Constructed using innerplies composed of western softwoods. Veneer core panels are lightweight, dimensionally stable and have excellent screwholding capacity.

Hardwood Cross Band (HXB)
Combines the smooth finish of a hardwood veneer crossband beneath the hardwood face and back with the strength and durability of western softwood veneer innerplies. Together they create an excellent hardwood plywood panel that is smoother and has less potential for core telegraphing.

CFC
Combination Fiber Core (CFC) combines MDF crossbands with softwood veneer innerplies. The MDF crossbands provide an ultra smooth surface to reduce telegraphing through the face, while the veneer innerplies maintain the strength and screw-holding power of a veneer core panel. This option is recommended for high-end veneers.

Particleboard

Multi-layered substrate, produced using a blend of western softwoods. The core consists of pre-consumer recycled wood fiber. The combination of sanding to extremely smooth, tight and grainless surfaces on both sides, with a controlled distribution pattern of particles in the core, results in a dimensionally stable panel.

Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF)
Makes for a very smooth, consistent panel. This is a great substrate for high-end veneer and for applications when routing and shaping are required. The MDF core consists of pre-consumer recycled wood fiber. Also available from Roseburg are the most widely specified MDF brands in North America such as Arreis, Medex, and Medite FR (please use registered marks on these brand names)
