Natural variations in color and grain pattern, which enhance the beauty of the product but may introduce slight inconsistencies. Offers a pleasing visual appeal with a natural finish.
- Back Side: May show visible seams or filled knots typical of the 4 grade but remains functional. This side can add unique character to hidden applications. This side is not intended to be as visible as the front face.
- Usage: Ideal for projects where aesthetics are paramount, such as decorative pieces or furniture fronts.
1/2" and 3/4" Sheets: B2 Grade - Good 2 Sides
- Front Face: Features a smooth, clear finish with minor blemishes, maintaining a refined look suitable for various applications. The presence of small knots may arise, but they should be minimal and typically won’t affect the overall quality or appearance of the sheet. Various grain patterns and color variations can be observed, adding texture and charm to the surface.
- Back Side: Slightly more blemishes than the front side which may include minor knots, seams, or small patches where imperfections have been filled. The back might show more clearly defined seams from the veneer lamination that could be visible but still structurally sound.
