Sen Face Ply Hardwood Plywood Sheet from Germany
This plywood panel features a face ply of sen wood (Kalopanax spp.), a tropical hardwood, laminated with inner plies of softer woods and backed with another veneer. It is not surface-covered or only has a transparent coating that preserves the natural grain and texture of the sen face ply, classifying it under HTS 4412.91.31.30 due to the specific tropical face ply requirement. Commonly used in high-end cabinetry where the sen wood's unique figure is showcased.
