December already: what a lot's happened since I last posted a Blog! And plywood has been the flavour of the month for at least the past five months...
I've been out to audit a plywood mill in Indonesia: and TFT Woodexperts has now extended its Diamond Marking Scheme to SP 101 Plywood from Indonesia (see our website for an update on that). At home, we've investigated three or four cases of "rubbish" plywood purporting to be either "WBP" or "Marine Ply": and - surprise surprise! - they were not anywhere near the specfication needed to do the job.
I have also given a presentation to the Contract Flooring Association about plywood and what to look for as being a good "model specification" for plywood used as an overlayment on old wood floors. (If you'd like to know more, contact the CFA.)
I haven't much time to write more: but watch out for my articles on plywood in the upcoming issues of the Contract Flooring Journal. And if you need to know more about plywood, or wood in general: don't forget my new book "Wood in Construction: How to avoid costly mistakes" - it makes an ideal Christmas Present!
In the meantime, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all our TFT Woodexperts readers!
