About This Product

Affordably enhance the aesthetics of your interior space with this beautiful PureBond Aromatic Cedar Plywood Project Panel from Columbia Forest Products. It features decorative hardwood veneers cut from responsibly harvested North American cedar trees, boasting the visual allure of natural wood grains and a pleasant scent that will stir the senses to transform any home or office space. Each 1/2 in. x 2 ft. x 4 ft. panel is precisely cut to exacting standards in a convenient small size to form the foundation for exquisite woodworking creations, including shelves, drawers, cabinets, end tables, toy chests, wall panels and more. The lightweight, all-wood veneer construction features a yellow poplar core substrate layered in alternating cross bands for utmost strength, flatness and rigidity. It's a water-resistant compilation that tolerates moisture better than formaldehyde-bonded plywood, while the 5-ply layering makes it less likely to warp than solid hardwood. The decorative hardwood panel is assembled with a soy-based PureBond technology that won't emit airborne contaminants over time, as UF-constructed plywood is prone to do.

    The ends of the panel will be in plain sight for my project. Are the end of the panels also covered with veneer? If not, are there any strips available to glue on?

    Answer This Question

    The ends of this panel is not finished, and generally not meant to be exposed or decorative in nature. There are several great options available such as iron-on or adhesive edge banding. Feel free to call me if you would like to discuss further. 800-637-1609. Thanks - Michael

                      Veneer on the face of the plywood is ultra thin but still useable if you’re careful. I cut the sheets into shelving for a vintage armoire (walnut) conversion to a shoe closet. Much more economical and easier to work with than solid aromatic boards. I attached a 1/2” x 1/2” piece of solid walnut to the front edge of each shelf. The plywood took the brads and glue perfectly.

                      Beautiful colors
                      Ordered one 2x8x1/2 panel delivered to my door to see if colors and construction will work for a project to line my shop office walls. Received it well packaged with no blemishes! Colors of cedar have exceeded my expectations! Will order more for my wall project and probly order some 3/4" to wrap windows and to make a waist high shelf on two exterior walls!. Wet spot on pic is from wiping with a damp rag.

                        Veneer is microscopically thin! This board seemed like a great thing - good size, cut to order, no formaldehyde or toxic glue... but the veneer is so thin and tenuously glued on that when I lightly put tape on the edge to protect it from splitting during a cut, the tape pulled the veneer off all along the board. It looks like it was painted on. And the other side is not as attractive or well finished so I'm stuck with 2 bad sides to show on my project. Very disappointed! (OTOH the crew at HD during pickup was super helpful 5 stars for them!)

                        Extremely disappointed in purchase
                        I am extremely disappointed in my purchase of this item. The cedar "veneer" is very thin. The item arrived packaged in a sturdy box, however upon removal both sides were covered in scratches and divots going completely through the thin veneer surface. Fortunately I don't need an entire sheet and can cut off what I need, but this product is junk. There is not even any cedar smell. Maybe it will pick up a smell after I cut it? Very disappointed, not worth the price or having to wait for shipping.

                          Immediately loved the cedar aroma. The panels came well packaged and true to the pictures. I made four under bed drawers 12 inches deep. My wife loves the fact that she can store her items in cedar. I was not aware that cedar plywood even existed until I looked into it. Now I am getting more to line our main closet walls. I am very happy with the product.

                            Beautiful wood but has imperfections
                            The cedar veneer on this panel is very thin so there are some imperfections that you may not be able to work around, depending on your project. I have a couple of areas where there are knots and when my piece arrived the pieces around the knot fell out, leaving the plywood visible. There are a couple of other imperfections where you can see the plywood as well so keep that in mind. Luckily, the project I'm working on allowed me to work around these issues. I didn't have any issues cutting. Having the right blade makes a big difference. Cedar tends to be expensive, so this is a great inexpensive way to get the look, and smell, of cedar for a project. It's also very light weight so it's easy to handle. The panel arrived very well packed and I didn't experience any shipping damage.

                            Just Ok, not what I expected
                            I really hesitate to order plywood online because you cannot cherry-pick through the boards; so I was happy that this .5"x2'x4' board arrived in relatively good condition with no major dents and the board was not warped. But that's where my joy ends - upon closer inspection of the veneer, the voids are either not filled at all, not filled completely, or the filler isn't even the same color as the knot. It looks like a toddler filled the holes with play-dough and forgot to sand it down. On the bright side, the grain is really beautiful and nice to look at and the cedar smell is amazing - just don't know how long that will last based on the other reviews. I was going to make a small toy chest or storage box out of this and just seal the plywood with a clear lacquer, but I definitely can't do that with all the flaws. I really feel like my only option is to paint the sides that will be visible and just deal with the imperfections on the inside.

                            Aromatic, Beautiful Wood to Work With
                            This plywod arrived in great shape. It smells wonderful and contains natural anti-mildew and insect properties. I cut mine into smaller panels and built a storage bin for my dogs' toys. It smells great and looks nice in our living room. I'll be building more cedar projects with this type of wood.
