Plywood, cheaper and lighter than most solid wood, is strong and flexible, making it ideal for furniture and cabinetry, sheathing and paneling. It is less subject to warping than solid wood and doesn't shrink or swell with changes in humidity.

It is less subject to warping than solid wood and doesn’t shrink or swell with changes in humidity. Plywood is made of very thin layers of wood (called veneers) that are glued together. On most sheets, the middle layer, or core, is also layers of veneer, but you can also buy sheets that have a solid lumber core. Some specialty sheets have particleboard or fiberboard cores.

Read More »Several organizations oversee plywood grading standards. Some, such as the American Plywood Assn. (APA) or the Douglas Fir Plywood Assn. (DFPA) concern themselves only with construction plywood. Others, such as the Hardwood Plywood Manufacturers Assn. (HPMA), deal only with hardwood plywood. Look for their stamps on the back of a panel before you buy it. For most uses, choose construction grade. Its face and back are softwood, usually Douglas fir, and each sheet is classified by the quality of veneer used. Construction grade is further categorized into “engineering grade” (used where strength is needed, such as in sheathing) and “appearance grade” (where looks are important, such as for cabinetry). In the construction variety, the top grade is “N” (natural) in which the surface is smooth and evenly matched with no open defects. It is suitable for an unpainted, natural finish. Other grades are “A” to “D” in descending order of quality, depending on the number of imperfections that appear on the face. Sheets are available in various face-and-back grade combinations. “A-B” is suitable when both face and back panels will show. “A-C” or “A-D” is suitable if only the “A” side will show. “C-D” is used in construction projects such as for concrete forms. Decorative hardwood plywood is classified by the species of wood from which the face is made and by the quality of the veneer. “Premium” or “A” is best. Next is “good” or “B” or “1”. Either is usable for cabinetmaking, as is “Specialty” or “SP"--a veneer with an unusual quality, such as wormy chestnut or bird’s-eye maple. Other grades are “2” to “4” in descending order.
