The quality of wood home depot has been getting in the past couple months has been down right horrible. Might be slightly lower on the price but you pay for it cause its all glue or resin. Hardly any wood left. Bring back the good quality lumber again.

Hello Jody,
We do not have a Red Oak panel for exterior applications. The glue used to bond the layers is water resistant – but not waterproof.

Would this be a good material for exterior soffits or should I use BC sanded pine plywood (store SKU #166014)?

Answer:
Hello,
The ¼” Red Oak isn’t intended for exterior applications. It’s produced with a water resistant glue – but not a waterproof glue. Typical applications for decorative hardwood plywood includes cabinetry, shelving, etc. For exterior applications you will need to use a plywood rated for exterior applications.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Kleppy Works great as an appearance enhancer
I was converting a plywood workbench into a computer desk while converting a work area into a small office. I wanted a wood that would dress it up nicely. I had chosen birch, but for a few dollars more and a suggestion from an store associate, I got the oak.
It was a great decision.
Threw down some wood glue, placed my cut pieces, put weights on top, shot a few finish nails and let it sit for a day.
Things to note:
If you are butting two pieces of this together MAKE SURE they line up and are level to each other. The oak parts are VERY THIN and if you have to sand to get a smooth joint, you'll eat thru the oak and the middle wood will stand out when you stain
It was easy to work with and has a great color. I'm very happy with this product and will use it again if I ever need to dress up some ugly wood. My new desk now looks like it's made of solid oak.

Rated 1.0 out of 5.0 by fcbdonaana Not Domestic, Produced in China buyer beware
I went to my store expecting to find the professional grade domestic Oak 1/4 inch plywood as listed on the HD website and supposedly in stock at my local store. Instead I had to remove the first 10 sheets from the pile as they were of such poor quality as to be unusable for the cabinet doors I was making. The sheets were delaminated and badly warped. When I finally found a sheet that looked like it would work the back "hardwood" was a very dark wood that I did not recognize. When I took it home I found a small tag that had the mill name which was a company located in China. I do not know how Home Depot can make the claims on their website that the product is domestic produced with two hardwood sides when it is obviously poor quality imported plywood with a back that is similar to Luan.

Rated 3.0 out of 5.0 by PapaK UPC sticker won't come off
I bought a sheet of this for woodworking projects. When I tried to remove the UPC sticker, it wouldn't come off without damaging the face of the plywood. I realize the sticker is on the back side of the sheet, but since this is a two-face plywood I often use it in applications where both faces are visible on the finished product. Why can't they come up with a sticker that peels off cleanly?

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 Fine for it's purpose
I'm using this plywood to cover up the glued on dried out remnants of many years of coverings on the risers of my stairs in an entry way. I figure this is easier than stripping, and with 1/4" nominal thickness, this works just fine. I don't know who told the previous reviewer that nominal and actual are the same, if they were, they'd not need separate distinctions. If you are using it in a precision manner, know that 1/4" nominal means the thickness before it was kiln dried and this board is more like 7/32". I'm happy, it's a lot better than stripping wood for hours!

Rated 1.0 out of 5.0 Not plywood
This is not plywood. It is paper-thin oak veneer glued to some kind of soft fiber board with a poplar back.. As such, it has very little strength, and almost no damage resistance. Every piece we looked at in the store had corner and edge damage. This is no surprise, as the fiberboard center is soft and weak.
If you buy this, do not plan on using the edges or corners, and do not plan on any strength. None at all.

Rated 1.0 out of 5.0 by Arthur Much thinner than 1/4"
Just bought a sheet at my local HD, got it home and thought it looked less than 1/4 inch thick. I put a micrometer to it and it measures very close to 5/32 of an inch, or 4 mm. I looked at the specs on this website and it says actual thickness is .203" but the product description says "Product may vary by store." Well, 5/32 is .156" (rounded to 3 digits, as the web site does). Nowhere on the signs at the store is there any indication that the product is so dramatically thinner that the .25" it is sold as.
I looked at some websites that say that actual and nominal thickness of hardwood plywood should be the same. I'm building some cabinets and this plywood is not satisfactory because (a) I think it is not sturdy enough for drawer bottoms and (b) cutting dados becomes much more difficult.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by oldfart very pleased
Using it for panels. Picked up 5.2mm router bit to cut groves in rails and styles. Plywood fit perfectly. Nice grain. Sheets nice and flat. All edges good. Took top sheet on pile. No need to dig through them.
