Classic Core is a voidless, engineered wood crossband that adds a whole new dimension to the meaning of lightweight strength and surface beauty.

Made from fast-growing, self-generating aspen, Classic Core is one product produced hand in hand with nature.

Aspen trees have a relatively short life span that benefits from selective harvesting, and Classic Core fibers are made from the entire aspen log leaving little waste.

Smoothness That Makes The Difference

Classic Core greatly enhances face appearance and provides a smooth, even surface which eliminates telegraphing. It is the perfect substrate in hardwood plywood used for tables, desk tops and high gloss finishes. Classic Core also eliminates finishing problems such as blotching caused by knot holes or open joints under the veneer.

Lightweight And Strong

Made from engineered aspen flakes that are significantly longer than they are wide, Classic Core has the strength of veneer core, yet is 30 percent lighter than board core. Classic Core is beautiful to work with. Its solid core quality makes it easy to machine.

For applications where a hardwood face and back are not required, the answer is Classic Lam. Because of its light weight, smoothness, strength and machinability, Classic Lam makes a perfect laminating surface.
