R / E14 / 2.0psi | All veneers are located parallel to grain, G1–G2 grades (primary G2) | Load-bearing structures |
X | There are some crossplies, G2–G3 grades structures | Load-bearing structures |
I / E13, E12 | Both parallel and crossply veneers are possible, G3– G4 grades are possible, G3–G4 grades | Filler structures and parts for doors and furniture manufacturing |
