Combi plywood
(combination plywood) consists of plywood made of two or more veneer sheets
peeled from different species of wood. Combi
plywood has some advantages such as its low weight, low cost, satisfactory performance, and the availability of abundant raw
materials. In this study, five-ply combi plywood panels were produced from
eucalyptus, beech, and poplar using urea formaldehyde adhesive to combine
rotary-peeled veneer sheets. Three plywood groups were produced with different
combinations, and we investigated the screw withdrawal and nail holding
capacity of the combi plywood. In addition, we determined the air-dried density
and equilibrium moisture content of the plywood panels that were produced. The
test results were analyzed using the SPSS software program. We used the data that were obtained to
determine the combi plywood that provided the greatest screw and nail holding
capacities. In addition, we investigated the relationship between density and
fastener holding capacity.
