Grading System (Cabinet vs. Construction)

• A: Smooth, no knots. Best for furniture.
• B: Solid surface, minor repairs allowed.
• C: Knots and plugs visible. Best for hidden structures.
• D: Large knots, voids allowed. Construction only.

Sanding: Veneers are often only 0.5mm thick. Be extremely careful when sanding 'A' grade plywood to avoid 'burning through' to the glue.
