About This Product

This PureBond Walnut Plywood Project Panel features plain-sliced veneers cut from natural timber harvested in a sustainable manner from American hardwood forests, ensuring premium quality, lasting durability and enduring beauty with each sheet. Fortified with a yellow poplar core substrate, the layers of this 3-ply panel are glued together with a cutting-edge PureBond technology derived from soybeans - an environmentally friendly, formaldehyde-free solution that is water-resistant and will not emit airborne contaminants. Precision-cut in 1/4 in. x 2 ft. x 2 ft. panels with burr-free edges, this decorative walnut plywood is perfect for smaller woodworking projects and serves as a cost-competitive alternative to UF-laden plywood, which is prone to degrade indoor air quality over time by off-gassing toxic fumes. The strength and flatness of these panels gives DIYers and professional carpenters the confidence to construct a variety of cabinet-grade gems for a lifetime of dependability and enjoyment.

Questions & Answers

Will it be possible to receive eight 12" x 12" panels with a custom cut of a 2 ft by 4 ft panel? One rip cut and 3 cross cuts?
ByNov 28, 2025
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

Yes, they will just be slightly narrower than 12" x 12" due to the saw blade removing material with each cut. The width is about 3/16" wide, so you can adjust for that in your measurements, 11 1/12" x 11 1/2" for your each of your four cuts. Call me if you have questions 800-631-1609. Thanks - Michael

        Hi, When entering your custom cuts, your dimensions will be cut exactly how you entered them. Depending on the dimensions you want, you will need to account for the saw blade as well. Thanks.

                There can be variation in the specie, and walnut can have some lighter hues than might be expected. Please email me at mhale@cfpwood.com with some images and I'll be glad to help identify them. Thanks - Michael

                  The description is misleading, it says that it has "Decorative veneers on both sides of the 1/4 in. x 2 ft. x 8 ft. panel," but then it says "decorative walnut veneer applied to only the face side of this panel, the back of the panel is not intended to be exposed." Which is it?

                      Poor quality veneer
                      I order this and just picked it up today… got it home and opened the box… not happy at all with the quality of the veneer. Very poor quality. The discoloration in the pics is not reflection that is the discoloration within the board. I will be returning this.

                        Used this on a display case I was building. It worked out great got very clean cuts and it took finish well. It’s also half the price of the hardwood dealers.

                        Awesome wood and I love how this wood improves my laser engraved and laser cut boxes I design and make. 90% of my products are now based on Purebond plywood. I used the walnut purebond plywood for a groomsman box cut and engraved on my 60 watt laser. The three ply, with a poplar core plywood is perfect for my box design products. The soy based glue is so much safer lasering than a formaldehyde based glue. Less smell and better performance.

                        1/5" (0.2") measured
                        I am using this panel in a laser cutter project with extremely tight tolerances. The difference between a 1/5" and 1/4" thickness in my case is huge, it means redesigning my entire cut file. Ridiculous for HD to lie and skimp on the thickness.

                        I am sorry that this product did not work for you. The 1/4" is a nominal thickness category, prior to drying and sanding, which is common in the industry. The average actual thickness is listed on the product page at .203", which is the average taken at six different points on a 4x8 panel.

                          The veneer itself is fine but the plywood sheet is bent enough to give any serious banana a run for its money. And the plywood is not bent because of shipping but because it was poorly made -- I'd guess the veneer (applied only on the one side) was properly dry when applied and so shrank to yield the generous curve you can see in the photo. The second sheet I had ordered was was also wildly bent but had the benefit of a full-width split right across the middle, the two sides being held together only by the veneer, making the sheet flatter than intact one but just as unusable. If you purchase this plywood you may well end up wasting your time waiting for it only to have to return it. Its garbage, basically.

                            This arrived curved which was disappointing. The middle is poplar, the bottom ply looks like oak or cherry? And the top is walnut veneer. Despite being curved, I was able to fit the cut piece in the slots at the bottom of a walnut serving tray to straighten it. The end result looks really good I just wish the plywood was flatter.

                            Accurate size, some color variance
                            I purchased 3 sheets of this plywood. It is very accurate to size and will work well for my application. There is some color variance on one side of two of the boards but the other side is perfect.

                              This plywood was slightly thinner than 1/4" specified, but that did not affect the project I used it on. It came packaged extremely well and damage free, which does not always happen when purchasing a product such as plywood online. I wanted it to be slightly darker than the natural finish so I applied a stain primer before staining and it came out perfect. No streaks or blotches. The only complain I would have is that the piece I received showed a distinctive line where the veneer was applied, but it did not affect the final product enough to complain about.

                              Product is not 1/4” thick. It felt really thin and flimsy, so I took a caliper to it and had a close look. It’s only 13/64”, which is a full 20% less than stated. The top veneer looks nice, but both veneers are paper thin, and the core is a very low-density soft wood. Seems much weaker than a typical sheet of 1/4” birch ply. Not sure if I can even use it as I had intended to at this point.

                                Was disappointed to find out the walnut is a veneer on the front only. However, it was my mistake -- it is clearly defined as such in the product description. Very smooth, nice pieces of wood. The free cutting service is the best. Quick delivery. Have already purchased again and will do so again and again.
