Plywood consists of
thin sheets of natural
wood glued with plastic
resins under heat and
pressure. The grain of
each layer runs at right
angles to the grain of the
next. This
construction gives
plywood its tremendous

For more. impressive

sliced — cut in half and
sliced by a razor-sharp
blade into thin sheets.
For a grain that runs
straight for the length of
the veneer, there is
quarter slicing -—
quatering the log and
then slicing. These latter
two methods produce
more expensive plywood.

Otherwise, plywood is
available as softwood or
hardwood, just as_ is

exterior grades, with the

On a power saw use

without much set.. The
blade should be just high
enough to protrude above
the plywood by the height

If you must plane an
edge, press the blade
against the finish side first
and angle toward the
centreline of the wood.
Use short strokes. Avoid
making the blade go out
to the opposite side.

Wood floors are the
pride and joy of many a
home. But when they
start to suffer from
marks, stains, worn spots,
cracks and splits, they
lose their beauty. Since
wood floors are so easy to
repair, it doesn’t pay to
allow them to
deteriorate.
