What is plywood?
Plywood is an engineered wood product that consists of three to seven layers of thin wood veneers that are then glued together. Each veneer is glued with its grain at a right angle to the last (or at a smaller angle, such as 45 degrees in some plywood). This is done to create a product with high dimensional stability and resistance to cracking and warping.

What are the advantages of plywood over solid materials?
The main advantage of plywood over solid materials is its high strength and stability. It is available in a wide range of thicknesses and sizes, which often makes plywood a more convenient choice as well. Plywood is available in a variety of thicknesses (typically 1/8", 1/4", 3/8", 1/2" and 3/4"), eliminating the need to plane your own boards. It also comes in large sheets (typically 4'x8') and requires no edge joints.

What is veneered plywood?
Plywood veneer is a type of engineered wood used in a variety of woodworking projects. One might wonder what its composition is and why people choose it over hardwood. Here we will discuss all you need to know about plywood veneer and when to use it.

The composition of plywood veneer
Popular logs of the highest quality come to the manufacturer to begin the slicing process. During the production of plywood veneer, very little wood is wasted due to the size of the blades used in the manufacture of the product. Depending on the type of wood used, the grain of each layer is unique. Veneered plywood is sliced into 1/40-inch sheets and glued together.

Types and Grades 
Raw: No backing on this veneer and either side may face up when used.
Reconstituted Veneer: These sheets are laminated together to form a block. The block is sliced so that the edges become the grain which is visible.
Laid Up: Veneer joined together from raw pieces to make larger pieces.
Paper Backed: Backed with paper and manufactured in different quantities.
Phenolic Backed: Preferred veneer when used on a curved product. Also used on composite or manmade veneers.

Wood on Wood: 2 ply decorative face with a utility grade wood backer applied at an opposing direction to the face veneer.

Benefits of plywood veneer
Compared to hardwoods, plywood surpasses the durability offered by solid woods. While hardwoods are prone to warping and cracking, the thin layers of plywood make the veneer stronger and less prone to cracking and splitting.
Whereas hardwoods are at risk of expansion and contraction due to weather changes, plywood is less likely to change over time.
