The Ibanez AW500 is made with solid wood for its top, specifically a solid Sitka spruce, which contributes to its tonal quality and resonance. The back and sides are typically made from mahogany or other tonewoods, which may be laminated. Overall, the solid top is a key feature that enhances the guitar's sound and performance.
I own a Giannini Craviola Brazil Series (GWSCRA12) - solid Sitka spruce top, laminated Pao-Ferro/Morado back and sides, and I love it! The GWSCRA12-P is the all-solid-wood version, so, IMHO, it should be as good or better than the laminated back and sides version. However, whether the all-solid version is worth the significant price differential is something only you can answer... Great sounding guitars! They make a 6-string and a nylon-stringed version as well...very comfortable to play... :-)
Solid wood is supposed to have a better sound then laminate wood and the Cordoba is solid, while the Ohana is a laminate. The Tenor is larger than the concert. I know there are some videos of the Ohana on youtube, so you may want to look them up. I couldn't locate the Cordoba.My gut would be to go with the Cordoba, but I've already got a Tenor and don't have a Concert size. But the solid wood would be a big factor in my book.
it is just plain regular wood There is no such thing as "plain regular wood." There are thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of species of wood. I'm not an expert on pianos. Organs are my specialty, but I can tell you that piano cases are made out of laminated veneers of hardwood - most likely Poplar or Birch with a top layer of a harder species depending on how it is intended to look - Mahogany, Oak, Walnut, for example. The sound board is made of spruce. The pin block requires a very hard wood. Hard Maple is the logical choice. Parts that are required to be very stable are likely made from Bass Wood. Ebony is historically used for the black keys but it is getting scarce. "Just plain wood" I suggest reading Understanding Wood by Bruce Hoadley.
Weiss guitars are made in post war Germany . Weiss also made ukuleles All solid wood.
Well the best wood for the top is solid Spruce, with very straight and tight grain. Then for the back and sides maple is usually the best, maple comes in different grain patterns such as flamed, birdseye, and straight grained, I personal like the sound of flamed maple. Then for your Tailpiece and pegs you have a choice, the best woods are ebony and rosewood, but there are other good woods also, such as snakewood and boxwood. My favorite wood though is snakewood because it is just as hard as ebony but it is a light color wood that looks like snake skin, not dought its unique. Then for your fingerboard you also have two choices ebony and rosewood. Then the best wood for your nut is ebony because of being so hard. Now for sound ebony, snakewood, and boxwood all have a very loud and impresive sound, but if you want a mellow yet well rounded sound you want rosewood. But always stay away from those metal alloy or plastic tailpieces, they have a very metallic sound and make the cello sound worse, so nomatter what use all wood. Now for the bridge, the bridge is always made of maple, but this is something that you can't go cheap on. The cheap bridges are cut all wrong and came have many inperfections causing worp and/or breakage. Expensive bridges are made better and usually have better sound projection. Now just as a word of advice solid wood is always better than laminate wood.
Solid timber is cut from a single piece of wood. Plywood is manufactured from several sheets of wood laminated together.
Laminated veneer lumber (LVL) is a material made of thick veneers laminated along the grain direction, hot pressed and glued, and then sawed. Compared with solid wood, LVL has the advantages of uniform structure, high strength and good dimensional stability, which can meet the application requirements of wood structure building, bridge, furniture and transportation. Main species: Masson pine laminated veneer, eucalyptus laminated veneer, Yunnan pine laminated veneer, Larch laminated veneer, poplar laminated veneer, bamboo bundle laminated veneer, bamboo and wood composite laminated veneer.
The answer to your question requires more information on your part. What are the dimensions of the table? What type of wood is it constructed from? Is the table top solid wood or laminated? Is there stenciling on the top? What is the overall condition?
Early aircraft propellers were made out of solid or laminated wood with later, more modern propellers being constructed from metal. The latest propeller designs are made out of composite materials.

The hoop is usually laminated wood, the neck is solid wood sometimes with mother-of-pearl or marquetry inlays, the skin is either natural hide or synthetic (plastic), the bridge is wood, the strings are either gut or wire, the tuning pegs can be ivory, wood or synthetic. If it has a back, that's usually laminated wood too but sometimes they're open backed. A banjo with wire strings is usually surprisingly loud
Installing a laminated wood floor in a home offers benefits such as durability, easy maintenance, cost-effectiveness, and a wide range of design options.

Some Things such as Desk, tables, and book shelves are made of laminated wood which is a mixture of wood, plastic, and binding resins as stated. Laminated Wood: in technology, the process of building up successive layers of a substance, such as wood or textiles, and bonding them with resin to form a finished product. Laminated board, for example, consists of thin layers of wood bonded together; similarly, laminated fabric consists of two or more layers of cloth joined together with an adhesive, or a layer of fabric bonded to a plastic sheet.
Lamination simply means layering. For instances a piece of plywood is layers of wood sheets with crossed grains pressed together. Layers of a material are stronger than a solid piece of the same material. Laminated flooring is made just like plywood, the layers are glued together and then bound together with a press.
Yes any type of wood is a solid.
yes - of course
