NOTES: Various characteristics
above are influenced by the grade and thickness of the core and specific
gravity of the core species. Visual Edge Quality is rated before treatment
with edge bands or fillers, and Visual Edge Quality for lumber core assumes
the use of "clear edge" grade. Surface Uniformity has a direct relationship
to me performance of the fine veneers placed over the surface. Dimensional
Stability is usually related to exposure to wide swings in relative humidity.
Screwholding and Bending Strength are influenced by proper design and engineering.
