PLYWOOD PROJECTS
Plywood panels, made up of thin layers of wood glued together with the grain of one at an angle (as much as go’) from the other, have proved a boon to cabinetmakers surface decoration of the french art deco . Fabricated with one or both sides veneered with a wide selection of beautifully grained woods, these panels vary in total thicknesses from less than

Compared with solid wood, the advantages of plywood lie in its near equalization of strength properties along the length and width of the panel, its resistance to checking and splitting, and its indisposition to change dimensions with changes in moisture content myott son & co. hanley . These advantages result from alternating the direction of grain in successive plies classical pier table . Since the strength of any wood along its grain is much greater than across the grain, equalization of strength properties is approximated by the increase of strength in one direction counterbalanced by a decrease in the other direction antique pembroke tble .The greater the number of plies for a given thickness the more nearly eq -1 will be the strength properties along and across the panel, and the greater t e resistance to splitting 17th century tool chest . The use of an odd number of plies permits a balanci g of stresses, whereas when an even number are used, each pair of plies at rig it angles tends to distort the other when changes in moisture content present n opportunity for warpage or cupping knife case with green handled cutlery antiques . In addition, the shrinkage of plywood co
strutted from five or more plies is less than that of three-ply material and me e nearly equal in directions parallel and perpendicular to the grain age of antique french refectory tables .
