<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 77447, member: 54"]Multi-layered wood in furniture (or rifle stocks for that matter) is termed "laminated." It is usually a cheaper way to come up with wood of the proper color and thickness when thick-enough wood pieces that are also dry enough are hard to find. Thinner pieces are planed, glued up, stacked and clamped with heavy pressure, and when dry the roughly-shaped sandwich is cut down to the finished shape. The laminated pieces were stained and put in back to sort of hide them, and solid used in front. I don't mean to be insulting your intelligence if you are familiar with lamination, but since you didn't use that term I thought writing it up might be helpful.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
