The purpose of the study is to determine the performance of 2 fastgrowing hardwoods (Gmelina arborea and Mytilaria laosensis). In this study, the two species were used to manufacture sliced and peeled veneer, plywood with Masson’s pine for the core ply, and the sliced veneer was used as decorate material faced on plywood, MDF and particleboard. The results showed that the mechanical properties of the plywood and the veneer faced panels can reach the relevant Product Standards.
