Finger Joint Boards
Finger Joint Boards has become established as a substitute for light tropical hardwoods and as one of the major timbers for the production of furniture and indoor building components.
The main reasons are its favourable timber and woodworking properties and the relatively low raw material costs since Finger Joint Boards is an agricultural by-product. This factor makes the timber highly competitive in comparison with timber from forest species which have comparably high raw material costs. An additional asset is its “green” aspect: rubber trees have to be removed for replanting once the latex yield has declined to uneconomical levels. Rubber plantations are now managed in a sustainable manner. The acceptance of Finger Joint Boards as a sustainable, plantation-grown, “environmentally friendly” timber has contributed to its universal appeal.
Strong research and aggressive marketing have contributed towards making Finger Joint Boards one of the most important Southeast Asian export timbers. It remains to be seen whether the increasing plantation area in Southeast Asia will be sufficient to meet the growing demand for Finger Joint Boards products.
The finger joint (also known as a comb joint) board is a woodworking joint made by cutting a set of complementary rectangular cuts in two pieces of wood, which are then glued. To visualize a finger joint simply interlock the fingers of your hands at a ninety degree angle; hence the name “finger joint.” It is stronger than a butt or lap joint, and often forms part of the overall look of the piece. It can be used to make joinery material, beams, table tops, parquet flooring, Cabinet shutters, Wardrobe panels, Stave panels and Staircase panels.
