This high-quality A-grade Oak Veneer Plywood Sheet (laserply) with a Chinese poplar underside and core is ideal for structural projects requiring a high-quality appearance and finish on the topside and panelling. The veneer on this sheet covers only one side.
This product is most suitable for applications where a high quality outside surface is needed where visual aspects on the underside are not critical. This is a ‘Crown Cut’ veneer with A grade topside quality.
A wood veneer is not like an artificial surface such as melamine or a laminate. It is cut from the log and therefore has it’s own unique grain, texture, and colour.
There are two different cuts that can be used in veneer production:
- ‘Quarter Cut’ are cut at 90 degrees, producing the effect of a straight grain.
- ‘Crown Cut’ are sliced through the log, producing ‘Crowns’. This adds more character to the overall finish (as used in this product).
Features:
- High quality A grade Oak Veneer laser plywood Sheet (laserply).
- Veneer thickness approximately 0.5mm.
- Suitable for use in internal dry conditions as defined in EN 622 parts 1 and 5 and conforms to EN13986.

Tolerances:
There are no specified tolerances for this product but we would recommend +/-20% as a guideline. This means a 3.6mm Oak plywood sheet could be between 2.88mm and 4.32mm in thickness.
Caution:
- As wood is a natural product there is often a bow or crook to plywood and in some cases a twist. We have measured curvature as much as a 25mm rise between the flat center of the plywood and the corner, therefore if using on a laser cutter these sheets should be strapped/taped to the laser bed before cutting.
- Although this is A-grade Oak Veneer on the topside, the underside and core is CC grade Chinese poplar. We have used the product on our laser cutter successfully. You can see the results in the photos of this product below. The image on the left was cut from the front, the image on the right was cut from the back. You can see cutting from the front leaves slightly more of a burnt edge.
- Knots or resin within the material can cause scorch marks when used on a laser cutter. These can usually be removed with fine grade wet and dry sandpaper.
