In your last two issues there have been no fe wer than fo ur

articles on plywood and lamination ...a magazine calling it

self Fine Woodworking should concentrate on that material

more or less as it comes off the tree ....The sort of thing Ms .

Swartz is doing bears about as much relation to ine wood

working as would, say , origami (paper fol ding) .

The methods of work involved in plywood are quite dif

fe rent than those of wood work . In joinery they tend to be

much more primitive . Plywood and laminates show a dif

fe rent response than solid wood to the stresses and climate of

use. Plywood , particularly the hardwood variety , is not in fact

cheap , either new or used , at least not here in Toronto. Ply

wood and laminates call almost exclusively for the use of

power tools and abrasives. Plywoods and laminates every

where look different than solid wood. Plywood tends to split

out and break off at the edges of the top and bottom layers .

Plywood is all too often poorly made , with uneven gluing and

large internal pockets even in the better grades . You

inevitably fi nd these things out when it's too late. When

these pockets show up on the edge of a piece there is no way

in the world to ill them effectively. The fl attened grain of

plywood often has a strained, exhausted and bleached-out

appearance. Because the glue is so close to the surface it does

not take color well. Plywood will warp if the edges are not

sealed ....

The constant references to saving time , and saving money,

and needing fe wer tools, are the giveaway . Compromises

should be grudgingly made, not eagerly sought.

LETBRS

I am moved to remark on the considerable conceit ex

pressed toward uses of wood . There ever seem to be those who

would impress upon us their opinions as to what is valid and

what is not. It is one thing to transmit one's experience with

technology and esthetics . To insist on broad agreement that

this then fo rms the limits of technology or esthetics is quite

another matter. Wood itself does not proffer such opinions.
