along all edges. The inner panel shall be 1/2” thick. Both shall be electronically glued hardwood plywood
and shall be fastened together with bayonet hanging brackets at the top and two steel angles at the bottom,
resulting in a rigid connection with no visible fasteners on the outer wood panel. The veneer face and
edges of the outer panel shall be stained to match the architect’s sample. The padding material shall be 2”
