anybody heard of this wood?
it's used as outer wood in some blades instead of the usual koto/limba/hinoki the donic epox blades seem to have this. https://schoeler-micke.tabletennis-shop.de/index.php?cl=details&anid=0e66e53d5ac45e2654facf7c564e688e&lang=0&pid=28&gclid=CjwKCAiA45njBRBwEiwASnZT5-8YS1dLbMkq5BzALJ06u00OWl8giog1gbDDzngnTuDi7Ox73F48jhoC6uoQAvD_BwE it looks similar to koto but it's all vertical lines one next to the other. so you can tell the difference. joola spirit off also has this wood http://www.joolausa.com/JOOLA-Spirit-OFF-Blade_2 Edited by pingpungpeng - 02/15/2019 at 10:31am |

nice, I thought the calderano had koto top ply. andro kanter explorer off seems to have the same composition as the calderano off+ also similar thickness. Edited by pingpungpeng - 02/18/2019 at 2:14pm |

fineline is not a type of wood. It just means a very thin top layer. So it could be litterally anything. they might as well write peekaboo.

are you sure? all the blades mentioned above have the same top-ply wood which is not koto, limba, hinoki, ayous or any other known wood. Edited by pingpungpeng - 02/18/2019 at 3:47pm |

I have to agree with hozuki in that fineline is not a particular type of wood. However it does not refer to the thickness of a veneer. It simply means that the wood grain of a veneer (in this case the top ply of a tt blade) is particularly fine (i.e "thin/long") and very evenly/uniformly compared to regular looking grain of the same type of wood! That's pretty much it.

what Nightsky said. Good luck figuring out the top ply. I have an unknown discontinued blade (gauder concept) that uses dyed fineline as outer ply and to this day I don't know what the wood used is.

Due to the paint used it is hard to say what kind a wood that is, but surely I am in love with mine (two) Foco Off+
For so long time after countless tryouts of fancy and fancier stuffs, finally I can say - I am impressed

Hozuki, Nightsky, wrong explanation. Fineline is formed in such a way that the inferior veneers are glued together into blocks

That article states:
"The veneer that meets the highest quality standards is packed and shipped to the factory in Italy to be processed into FINELINE VENEERS." This is all new to me. Why does this process of laminating a stack of veneers, then cross-cutting them create a more uniform grain? Averaging inequalities out by the statistics of redistribution?

It's just a commercial advertisement from the wood industry. The truth is: how to sell third and fourth quality veneer at a higher price.

so it seems like it can be made of several types of wood.
through a process they create this peculiar shape identifiable in blades like calderano off+, andro kanter explorer off, joola eagle carbon.

yep and since this technique obfuscates the grain, you cannot identify the wood. Especially when it is also dyed.

in general, fineline is supposed to be hard or soft wood?
