Product catalog summary
Exotic Veneers
Roseburg offers a selection of exotic veneers such as Sapele, Bird’s Eye Maple, Anegre, Bamboo, Jatoba, Teak, and Zebrawood, available in plain sliced and quartered options. These veneers are used for decorative hardwood panels due to their unique aesthetic qualities.
Engineered Veneers
Engineered veneers replicate high-character species like Zebrawood and are suitable for applications in retail and office furniture. They are made by slicing and recombining layers from less valued trees.
Rotary and Sliced Veneers
Rotary veneers are produced by peeling the entire log, resulting in broad grain patterns. Sliced veneers are created using techniques like plain slicing, quarter slicing, and rift cutting, each offering distinct visual effects.
Core Options
Roseburg provides core options including Combi Fiber Core (CFC), UltraBlend particleboard, Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF), and veneer cores, offering benefits like smooth surfaces, dimensional stability, and excellent screw-holding capacity.
Green Cores
Green cores meet CARB ATCM 93120 Ultra Low Emitting Formaldehyde (ULEF) Emission Limits and are available with FSC certification. They help achieve LEED credits and are made with eco-friendly materials.
Panel Options
Roseburg offers panel options like RediPly, RediFinish, and RediBead, combining hardwood veneer faces with various backings and finishes for versatile applications.
Slicing and Matching Options
Various slicing methods such as rotary, rift cut, plain slicing, and quarter sawn are available to achieve desired veneer appearances. Matching techniques include slip, whole piece, pleasing, book, and random matching, each creating unique visual effects.
Technical Information
Roseburg hardwood panels come in various lengths, widths, and thicknesses, complying with industry standards and certifications for quality and environmental responsibility.
Maintaining Quality
Proper handling and storage are crucial for maintaining panel quality. Minimizing movement and ensuring proper strapping during transportation are recommended to prevent damage.
Handling and Training
Proper handling and training are essential to prevent panel damage. Use appropriate dunnage to protect panels from handling dings and nicks. Train employees in the safe use of handling equipment like fork trucks and pallet jacks.
Storage Guidelines
Proper stacking is essential to protect panels, ensuring clean stacks with no protruding edges and maintaining alignment. Temperature should be between 60–90ºF to prevent warping, and humidity should be controlled between 30–55% RH to avoid moisture damage. Panels should be covered to protect from sunlight, which can cause color changes.
Delivery and Fabrication
Panels should not be delivered to the job site until needed and should acclimate for at least 48 hours before installation to prevent warping.
Machining and Finishing
Panels are designed for optimal machining and can be nailed or screwed near edges without splitting. Fine-grit sandpaper and sanding sealer are recommended before staining, and test samples should be used to determine the desired finish.
Panel Features and Options
Roseburg hardwood panels are manufactured to high standards, offering various face veneer options and core options, including UltraBlend Particleboard and Medium Density Fiberboard. Green core options like SkyBlend Particleboard are also available.
Glossary of Terms
The document includes a glossary explaining terms related to panel construction, such as 'balanced panel,' 'crossbanding,' and 'delamination,' providing clarity on technical aspects of panel manufacturing.
Technical Document Summary
1. Veneer Cutting Techniques
  • Rift-Cut: Achieves a straight grain appearance by cutting at a slight angle to the radial on a half-round stay log or using veneer cut methods that minimize ray fleck.
  • Rotary-Cut: Veneer is produced by centering the log in a lathe and turning it against a cutting knife set at a slight angle.
  • Sliced: Veneer is produced by thrusting a log or sawed flitch into a slicing machine, shearing off the veneer in sheets.
2. Veneer Characteristics
  • Rough Cut: Irregular shaped areas with uneven corrugation differing from the surrounding smooth veneer.
  • Running Match: Panel face made from components running consecutively through the flitch.
  • Ruptured Grain: Breaks in the grain caused by excessive pressure, appearing as separations in the wood.
  • Sapwood: The living wood of lighter color in the outer portion of a tree.
  • Shake: Separation along the grain, mostly occurring between annual growth rings.
  • Sharp Contrasts: Veneer of lighter color should not be joined with darker veneer, and adjacent pieces should not be dissimilar in grain or markings.
  • Slight: Visible but does not interfere with the overall aesthetic appearance.
  • Slip Matched: A sheet from a flitch is slid across the sheet beneath and spliced at the joints.
  • Smooth, Tight Cut: Veneer cut to minimize lathe checks.
3. Wood Types and Specifications
  • Softwood: Lumber or veneer from needle and/or cone-bearing trees.
  • Solid Core: Plywood panels with all inner plies of grade J or better, allowing splits up to 3.2 mm.
  • Species (Commercial Species Groups): Species grouped for marketing convenience, identified with a single commercial name.
  • Specific Gravity: Ratio of the weight of a substance to the weight of an equal volume of water at 4˚C.
  • Split Heart: Achieving an inverted "V" or cathedral type figure by joining two face components of similar color and grain.
  • Splits: Separations of wood fiber running parallel to the grain.
  • Streaks, Mineral: Natural discolorations of the wood substance.
  • Tight Side: In knife-cut veneer, the side farthest from the knife with no cutting checks.
  • Veneer: A thin sheet of wood, rotary cut, sliced, or sawed from a log, bolt, or flitch.
  • Wood Failure (Percentage): Area of wood fiber adhering at the glue line after a shear test, expressed as a percentage.
  • Wormholes: Holes resulting from worm infestation.

UltraBlend particleboard Multi-layered substrate, produced using a blend of western softwoods. It is ECC certified 100% pre-consumer recycled wood fiber particleboard. 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 perfect, dimensionally stable panel. Combi Fiber Core (CFC) combines MDF cross bands with softwood veneer innerplies. The MDF cross bands provide an ultra smooth surface to reduce telegraphing through the face, while the veneer innerplies maintain the strength...

TYPES OF VENEER CUTS Depending on the manner in which a log is cut, strikingly different visual effects can be achieved with the wood’s grain and characteristics. Two logs of the same species, cut in different ways, produce distinctive, individual veneers. 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. PLAIN SLICING 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...

VENEER MATCHING Natural coloration and arrangement of veneer, comprising the panel face, determine the resulting visual effect. Different matching techniques are used for specific panel applications. SLIP MATCH Adjacent veneer sheets are joined side by side, same sides up, for a uniform grain pattern. WHOLE PIECE One single piece of veneer is used, with continuous grain characteristics running across the sheet. PLEASING MATCH Veneers are matched by color or similarity, not necessarily by grain characteristics. BOOK MATCH Every other piece of adjacent veneer is turned over, resulting in identical,...

Proper handling and storage Between the time panels are manufactured and put into their final application, there are many opportunities for hardwood plywood panels to be damaged. The following handling and storage tips should be observed at every step along the route to ensure the panels reach their final destination unscathed. Minimize Movement – The best way to minimize handling damage is by handling the panels as little as possible. Plan your warehousing and process flow operations to minimize the need to handle the panels. Proper Strapping – When you do need to move panels, make sure that...
