Basswood plywood is made of basswood through peeling, bleaching, drying, gluing, compression and other processes, and is mostly used in home improvement and furniture manufacturing industries.

Basswood plywood feature 1: good processing performance

The older generation of woodworkers have a deep affection for basswood. Although it is not a precious wood, it is one of the most suitable materials for ordinary families because of its cheap price and good wood properties. Today, basswood is still a kind of wood with a large domestic output. In addition to making solid wood furniture directly, it can also be further processed called high-quality plywood. Compared with similar products made of other fast-growing trees, it has better processing performance, whether it is cutting or drilling, it feels handy, and it does not cause wear and tear on the machine.

Basswood plywood feature 2: stable performance and not easy to deform

In fact, the stability of plywood itself is better than that of ordinary wood, because of its multi-layer structure, the original wood fiber can be rearranged to achieve the effect of criss-crossing, with the help of high-performance glue, fiber They can contain each other, so that even when the external environment changes, it will not cause obvious deformation. The basswood itself has good stability and low shrinkage rate, so the quality of the plywood is better.

Basswood plywood feature 3: uniform and smooth, suitable for painting

Basswood is also a good carving material. After processing, it can present various exquisite lines and shapes well. Especially after polishing, it can be smooth and easy to paint. After being made into plywood, it still maintains such advantages, it can be directly painted and beautified without having to adopt too complicated processes. For better quality boards, varnish can also be used directly to show the texture effect of solid wood furniture.

Basswood has good machinability and is easy to work with hand tools, making it an excellent material for carving. Nails, screws and glue fixation performance is still good. Sanded, stained and polished to obtain a good smooth surface. Drying is relatively fast, and the deformation is small and the degree of aging is low. The shrinkage rate is quite large when drying, but the dimensional stability is good.

Furniture materials. It is yellow-white, slightly soft, straight texture, slightly fine structure, silky luster, and soft feeling. Wood sawing, screwing, drilling, tenoning, nailing, gluing, painting, coloring and other good performance. The trunk neck is straight and straight, and the yield is high. The material is lighter in color and has larger voids, and is easily dyed or bleached. Low drying shrinkage, no deformation or cracking after drying, moderate hardness, and can be used as furniture material in northern regions.
