Questions & Answers

Which is a exterior use plywood

We do not manufacture exterior rated plywood. This is for interior decorative use only. Thanks - Michael

    Hi, are both sides completely smooth?
    ByDec 3, 2025
    1 Answer | 
    Answer This Question

    The 1/4" panel is designed for applications where only the face is visible, but both face and back are sanded during the production process. If you would like to send further, we recommend 220 grit or higher sandpaper with a very light pressure for additional smoothing if desired. Thanks - Michael

      Does this have solid core or is there voids?
      ByOct 30, 2025
      1 Answer | 
      Answer This Question

      The grade of this panel does allow for some small openings in the core, but they are limited to certain specs of diameter and number. They should not be large enough to impact most applications, but if you would like to call and discuss in more detail your specific needs, I'd be happy to discuss. There is a grading standard for Decorative Hardwood Plywood but would warrant further discussion. 800-637-1609 - Michael

        Can the panels be glued to a wall? I want to use the wood as paneling for an 87 inch high and 6 1/2 foot wide wall (plus side walls). Thanks for your help.

        1 Answer | 
        Answer This Question

        These panels can be used for interior paneling applications. The specific techniques or products most suitable for your application would be better answered by your local pro or finishing expert. Feel free to call me if you need 800-637-1609. Thanks - Michael

            Can this be used for stair tread if glued on top of pine tread
            ByJun 18, 2024
            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            Hello, The Poplar layer on the plywood is thin and really not intended for wear that a floor would receive. It would need to have a thicker Poplar veneer to hold up to foot traffic.

                  Great Under Bed Drawer Frames
                  Bought it on the 4th and received it on the 10th. Thanks Columbia Forest! I had 2 of the same cuts done to provide a base for 2 tulip poplar under bed drawers, and they match and look great. They made the cuts and sent me the remainders. Quick and easy request form on the same product page then a return back to the latter to purchase on Home Depot. Never did this before and it was a good experience.

                    Not Aesthetic
                    I'm not sure how to best say it, but simply this was an ugly batch of wood. My first order looked great, so I didn't think twice to make another one. Unfortunately neither side looks usable. Every piece has large sections that are yellow to green hued.

                      I needed something to cover the framed out access hole to the motor for my whirlpool bath tub. This worked perfectly and was cost effective. It is thin and light; I think I will be able to just use Velcro to keep it in instead of having to use hardware. The free custom cutting was so convenient. It fit just right. I will paint it all so you don't notice it. Thank you!

                      I chose the poplar plywood panel to complete a repair on a DIY fail on a kitchen cabinet that I had cut a large opening into so I could wire up a range hood attached to it. When that didn't work out, I had to hide the hole and an HD search revealed I could order the poplar plywood panel for convenient home delivery. The plywood arrived in good shape except for a small edge section that got damaged during shipment which was easily cut off with only 1/2 inch loss of material. The panel cut cleanly using a table saw, and the front and back of the plywood are smooth and accepted stain well. I completed the repair and am very satisfied with the result and recommend this panel for your next DIY build project.

                      The 1/4 IN. X 2 FT. X 4 FT. plywood arrived in great shape, great packaging, the board was between 2 pieces of cardboard. I'll be using the cardboard to spray paint my Kitchen and Baths cabinet pulls. There is no dings, dent, chips or edge voids. This is a even 1/4" all the way around the board. You can use this for almost any project I will be using this to make a nice bird house, searching for Free Bird House Plans online. Don't know if I will paint it out or just stain it, either way it should look great. You won't be disappointed with this plywood.

                      The face side of this ¼” poplar plywood is perfect for my project. The sheet is exactly 2’ wide and is a tad over 4’ high. The edges are straight and not jagged. The face has wonderful poplar graining and should stain nicely. The face is smooth and feels ready for finishing. The backside of this piece of plywood, although not intended for exposure, would work well as the back of a cabinet. My project involves using this 2 X 4 sheet of poplar plywood to face the top of a rather deep doorway in our basement. I’ll corner bead the exposed edge. The panel is made in the USA and can be cut to order. It doesn’t get much better than that.

                      Good plywood for many uses.
                      This 1/4 in. x 2 ft. x 4 ft. PureBond Poplar Plywood Project Panel by Columbia Forest Products is really good plywood that can be used on many different projects in my woodworking. I want to say right off that this plywood is NOT 1/4" thick. It is 15/64". So if you plan on using this plywood in any type of dado you will need a 15/64" router bit. That being said I do like working with this brand of plywood. It is a 3-ply with 1/28" veneer on both sides. The veneer used looks exactly like Poplar, in this case. And the same can be said for all the other hardwood panels in this series, they are true to the species. One side does look better than the other but just barely. This plywood can easily be stained, painted or sealed. I have used it in several different projects. It can be to make cabinets, entertainment centers, tables, shelves, headboards, wall panels and just about anything you care to create. When cutting on a tble saw be sure to use at least an 80 tooth blade to help prevent chipping.

                      Nice finished plywood
                      Shipped uva ups in a large card board box, large enough to ensure their will be no damage to the product. The panel is finished on both sides and smooth to the touch. Its not warped and looks nice. I do not see any splits on the wood surface or any seams like some plywood that seems to be glued together. This has more of a quality of a solid sheet then bonded layers, since even on the cut ends I do not see any layers.

                      great plywood
                      The COLUMBIA FOREST PRODUCTS 1/4 in.x 2 ft. x 4 ft. purebond poplar plywood project panel was delivered packaged like a pro. When I unboxed it I found a nice grained poplar 2x4 ft. flat panel. It was sanded well on one side and that is the exposed side. I am going to use it for a small table top I am building. This panel must be cut with a fine tooth blade. These panels finish very well.
