November meeting

Novembers dinner meeting will be an informative session on wood veneers and an opportunity to step up your game as a designer.  All designers can benefit from the knowledge Jim Hickey from Birchland Plywood-Veneer Ltd will offer. Jim will be discussing the manufacturing processes for veneer cutting through splicing, pressing and finishing along with reconstituted veneer which is becoming a larger factor in specialty design.  He will also go over common manufacturing and product defects and how product specification can affect them.

Jim comes to us with over 25 years experience in the veneer business along with melamine lamination. Jim has also served as a Director of the Hardwood Plywood Veneer Association, President of the Canadian Hardwood Plywood Association, and President of the Canadian Lumberman's Association.
