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.

Questions & Answers
Which side is the face? One side has a ton of knots and is very dark and the other side has been sanded through and has glue all over the outer skin can't win!
The grading guide is provided in pdf on the product page. I would need to see a picture of your panel to be more specific, but this panel is a C grade which does allow for scattered sound or repaired knots. If you would like to discuss further, call us at 800-637-1609. Thanks - Michael
How thick is the birch veneer?
Hello, the birch veneer is approximately 1/42 in. thick.
Are both sides finish grade? Is the 1/4” strong enough to be used for panel of a small door?
Only the face of this 1/4" panel is meant to be decorative. I would need more information to answer the second question. Call us at 800-637-1609 and we can discuss. Thanks - Michael
I will be using the very thin wood ply sheet 4'x8' on top of a counter top. I will stain and seal then glue to counter top. What adhesive should I use and how do I smooth the glue so it doesn't cause raised and noticeable lumps on finished project?
I would need more information to answer the second question. We do recommend consulting with a specialist in finishing products for the most accurate recommendation. Call us at 800-637-1609 and we can discuss. Thanks - Michael
Are the glues used low VOC?
The adhesive we use is a soy-based adhesive called PureBond. This product does not contain urea formaldehyde as many other products do. To discuss in more detail, you can call us at 800-637-1609. Thanks - Michael
Does it have the moisture proof glue? I'm want to use as decking on a boat.
No, this panel is only intended for interior, decorative use. It should not be used in marine or exterior applications
Using a spar varnish would protect it but I would not use this product. 1/4 inch is too thin for a deck, especially a boat deck. This product is falsely advertised as 1/4” it is actually .1875 = 3/16”.
Building a desktop, 63"Wx 29"D, partially floating (cabinet support on 1 side & wall-mounted on other). Ideally C-shape w/ a 30" center cutout reducing depth to ~16" in that area. Will this wood work, and can the store make those cuts for a fee? Thanks!
Call us at 800-637-1609. We do not operate the store cutting stations so I don't know if they can help you with the cut out, but we can discuss more if you would like. Thanks - Michael
I am making a fire truck bed for my grandson. I will paint it FDNY red along with a white roof. I was thinking 3/4 birch for the sides. Do you think I can get away with this or should I consider a different species of plywood? Both sides need to be smoot
I would like to discuss this with you in more detail before providing an answer here. Give me a call at 800-637-1609 so we can discuss this in more detail. Thanks - Michael
