Assuming you don't want your cabinets, ready-to-assemble (RTA)
furniture or other products made from plywood to smell like dirty
diapers, a quick look at the Complete Guide to Hardwood Plywood and
Face Veneer by Ang Schramm is in order. According to Schramm, South
American Lapuna Sumauma wood has a high starch content that is
susceptible to attack by anaerobic bacteria while sitting on the
bottoms of holding ponds at the veneer plant. The byproducts,
butyric acid and caproic acid, exude an odor that may not always be
noticeable in properly dried wood in dry conditions but becomes
offensive when humidity increases. As can be expected, veneer from
this species is in low demand and therefore cheap, and
manufacturers buying on price point alone can find themselves in
possession of a product whose odor is, at this time, irreversible
and without remedy. Not all of the content in this book is so
esoteric. The book's 157 pages are organized into sections covering
variations in appearance, the veneer manufacturing process, types
of veneer matching, grades and product standard, substrates, the
hardwood plywood manufacturing process, meeting customer
expectations, and troubleshooting common problems. Liberally
sprinkled with black-and-white photographs and diagrams, the book
gives excellent detail on describing, the processes of plywood and
veneer manufacturing so the reader can better understand the
advantages and limitations of the product and the various
processes. For instance, the chapter on troubleshooting provides a
diagram showing why one side of veneer (tight side) is more
heat-reflective and impervious to finish than is the other (loose)
side, which is more light-refractive and absorbent. By
understanding the relative differences between the sides and why
those differences exist, it is then possible to present an
explanation why starch book-matching veneers has the problem of
adjacent sheets of veneer having different
light-reflecting/refracting and finish absorbing characteristics.
The manual can then proceed to explain different techniques to
overcome the variation and present a more uniform appearance (in
this case, glue-sizing or wash coating) and to recommend specific
products to help achieve the desired result.
