Timberwood Panels Issue
I purchased a sheet of veneered MDF from Timberwood Panels Yesterday and didn't notice the DGB back until I had cut down the board, am I just being picky or is this unacceptable DGB quality? see photo's:

The images show gouges throughout the whole board...

That's what DGB is. Same species, lower grade. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it.
Those are medullary rays, not gouges.

It's quarter/radial sawn veneer, so that what you would expect to see, if you don't like the look go for through/crown cut then you will get figure in the panels which lends itself better to book or butt match

I forgot to mention its American Oak crown, the other side is fine.

Well that might just be a balancing veneer and the crown side would be your face side

I agree, it is acceptable.
I pays to spend a little time to understand what manufacturer's terminology, manufacturing standards (AS/NZ 2270 etc), and material specification means in practical terms.
DGB simply means "not face quality" but is generally considered serviceable and acceptable in a specified application. Back veneers specified for non-structural ply with DGB in architectural lining/s or cabinetry where the back may be visible at times will be of a higher quality than in "never seen" applications which may be specified as BAMO – Back at Manufacturers Option - merely a balancing veneer to prevent panel warping. ProductManual.pdf (timberveneer.asn.au)
Structural plywood has another system of classification A/B/C/D etc with specifications for bond, permitted voids etc. AS/NZS 2269.0:2008 Plywood—Structural - Specifications. Then "marine plywood" etc BS1088 is inferior in face quality, bond, acceptable species etc to AS2272 specification ply etc.Last edited by Mobyturns; 9th February 2022 at 07:55 AM. Reason: typos

I think I need to educate myself a little. Pretty new to veneers/plywood so please forgive me!

DGB stands for down grade back. Most veneered boards are manufactured in this configuration. G2S is good two sides and commands a surcharge. Usually, the same specie is used for DGB but not in all cases. Blackwood is often laid with a Sally wattle back. Blue gum with Flooded gum and vice versa just to mention a few. What you have is perfectly acceptable as standard veneer board.
