About This Product

Veneered construction gives these decorative PureBond Birch Plywood Project Panels the strength, flatness and rigidity to satisfy the most discerning craftsman. Each 5-ply sheet is assembled with a soy-based PureBond technology to fortify its structural integrity, with the added benefit of being formaldehyde-free so it will not off-gas toxic fumes over time as UF-constructed plywood is known to do. The decorative veneers are precision-cut from domestically grown, sustainably harvested birch trees, producing visually alluring wood grains on the face and back of the panel that exhibit the warmth, beauty and timeless quality of natural hardwood. Featuring real timber throughout, the core veneer consists of natural yellow poplar substrate laid in alternating cross bands for utmost stability and ruggedness. It's a cost-competitive alternative to urea formaldehyde-laden plywood and will not contribute to air-quality degradation like composite panels. For extraordinary results on your next carpentry or woodworking project, add this 1/2 in. x 4 ft. x 8 ft. panel to your arsenal for construction of cabinets, entertainment centers, wall panels, coffee tables, bookcases, toy chests, benches, desks, shelves and more. The decorative veneers have a smooth finish that allows painting or staining to make it uniquely yours.

              1/4 in. x 4 ft. x 8 ft. PureBond Birch Plywood (actual 0.188 in. x 48 in. x 96 in.) is this product bendable?
              ByApr 6, 2025
              1 Answer | 
              Answer This Question

              It has some flexibility due to the small thickness, but it is not designed to be used in bending applications.

                  Answer This Question

                  This panel can used as an end panel on cabinets next to a refrigerator. It should not be exposed to extreme heat or moisture, but being in a cabinet structure next to a refrigerator is fine. If you need more info, email me at mhale@cfpwood.com. Thanks - Michael

                    Instantly delaminated, wrong wood species.
                    It delaminated instantly, right after I made the 2nd cut. Also, HD sent RED OAK veneer, not the birch that I ordered. And then they refused to refund the $80 shipping fee for me to order the right product. They also refused to refund the product too.

                      Very poor quality
                      Worst quality ply ever. Holes and bubbles all throughout the ply. So many holes under the hardwood ply you can push through with your finger. Rubbish quality and for a premium price, ridiculous!

                      I apologize for the issues you had with the plywood. The grade of this panel does allow for some small openings under the face of the veneer, however, contact me with details and pictures and if it is outside of the specification we will make it right. . We do have other options available in a higher grade that we can offer as a special order through the prodesk as well. Contact mhale@cfpwood.com or call 800-637-1609. Thanks - Michael

                        At 11/64” it’s closer to 1/8” than it is to 1/4”
                        This is nowhere close to 1/4”. If you’re trying to make cabinet doors look elsewhere.

                          Horrible delaminations!
                          It's ironic that this is called "Purebond," because all it does is delaminate! HomeDepot cut it in half vertically for me. I didn't notice until I got home that it delaminated along the cutline. (See photos. ) Both delaminations are over 12" long. Horrible quality. It's going back!

                            The quality of this wood is going downhill more and more. There are so many pits and stripped pieces in this that I'm having to work around the knots. Customer service was amazing in discounting it because of poor quality, but I'd much rather pay full price for the great quality it once was than a discount on this.

                            This stuff is full of voids and will delaminate when cut. Search the pile for Sandeply. It doesn’t have the same look, but doesn’t have voids

                              Absolutely Garbage, do not buy!
                              I highly suggest you do not buy this plywood; it is absolutely junk. On 2/15/25 we purchased 16 sheets at $85.58 each for a total of $1,385.28. This is not cheap wood, and I wouldn't think at this price point quality wouldn't be an issue, but I was very wrong. Very wrong. We had major issues with this wood delaminating and having major voids when cut. We had to spend a ton of time regluing this delamination issue and filling the edge voids, almost doubled the hours invested into this project. I wish that I could give it Negative stars, that is what this product deserves. Shop elsewhere if looking for a high-grade material, this sure was not cabinet grade by no means. Might as well purchased OSB. Very disappointed!!!!

                                Voids on ripped edges, Chipping on veneer surface
                                The performance of this Birch Plywood did not meet my expectation. There are two major issues; voids in the edges after ripping cuts, and chipping when drilling, rip cutting or cross cutting. The wood voids that appeared after rip cuts made edge banding difficult. Many of the edges required wood filler and sanding before edge banding could be applied. This added hours to the Murphy Bed project I'm working. Chipping along the edges after table saw rip cuts and miter saw cross cuts was severe. I used a zero clearance throat plate on both saws, kept the blade down on the miter saw until it stopped running, and even tried a backer board with no success. Drilling also chips the veneer finish. Again, I used techniques to eliminate chipping but still had tear out on the back side. See photos. On a positive note, the grain and finish of the veneer is excellent. The sheets were also very square which simplified ripping on my table saw. The scraps from this project will also make excellent jigs and garage shelves so I appreciate the versatility of this product. For rough projects, this product is excellent. If you're building furniture, you may want to find a higher grade. For the price, the value of this product is average.

                                  TERRIBLE QUALITY
                                  I have noticed poor quality - such as veneers not bonded - over the past several years with various plywood at Home Depot, but this is the WORST EVER. In this sheet, Plys not fully bonded, veneer not fully bonded, dark discolorations just beneath the outer veneer that show thru the veneer. It was clear that the flaw ran all the way across the sheet. I spent hours re-gluing this stuff back together. I would have returned, but had spent a lot of time cutting into the shelves. (And you never know if the saw at DC HD is even working!)

                                    Quality has dropped to an unacceptable level
                                    I've been using this plywood for a few years for laser cutting and had been pretty happy with it. Now it seems like they're making the cheapest thing they can get away with. When I cut off pieces to fit into my laser they doesn't just warp, but twist horribly. This is the first time I've ever bought plywood and have had such an issue with de-lamination. It's not noticeable as a full sheet, but I'm finding so many spots while cutting it's like they didn't even try to glue it together.
