Block board

A standard block-board is a panel with a solid wood core, generally made of pine or poplar. This board is finished with a rotary-cut veneer or a thin chipboard or MDF board. The specific product structure used for block-boards means that the finished product may be labelled as 'solid wood'. The screw-holding power and machinability are within the parameters of regular solid wood.

Construction

Block board is made up of a core of softwood strips. The strips are placed edge to edge and sandwiched between veneers of hardwood. A single veneer on both sides is known as 3-ply. A double veneer on both sides is called 5-ply. The sandwich is then glued under high pressure.
