About This Product

Use this 1/4 in. x 4 ft. x 4 ft. PureBond Alder Plywood Project Panel for your next cabinetry or furniture project and never worry about it releasing airborne contaminants, as formaldehyde-laden products are prone to do. Decorative alder veneers grace the top of this 3-ply panel, with other hardwood layers sandwiched between and glued with a soy-based PureBond technology that is environmentally friendly and won't off-gas toxic fumes like UF plywood. The natural warmth and beauty of real alder gives the top veneers a splendid appearance that forms the foundation for impressive DIY creations, such as serving trays, end tables, pet food centers, footstools, wall pockets, shelves and more. It's a cost-competitive alternative to products that may degrade indoor air quality over time, and its water resistance further strengthens its endurance for lasting performance.

A:  Hello, The back side of the Alder panel is not intended to be exposed. It is a hardwood veneer but may be a different species of wood on the back of the panel.

    Q:One of the photos of alder wood panels shows them finished in four different shades. Each one has a rich, warm color. Can anyone tell me what type of stain and/or varnish might be used to achieve this look? Wipe on stain? Gel? Penetrating stain?

    Answer This Question

    A:  Hello Barb. The panels (at least in my case) came unfinished but sanded smooth on both sides. Like most specialty plywood there is one side with a furniture grade appearance (No stain), and the other side might have small tight knots or darker streaks in the grain. Plan on applying a good quality sanding sealer per the manufacturer's instructions and follow with your choice of stain color. In my case I used Minwax for both the sanding sealer and stain (Fruitwood) with several coats of Minwax satin polyurethane to complete it. Again, following the instructions on the spray can for best results. If you're trying to match an existing stained piece (cabinet or furniture), you may need to apply several coats of the stain you've chosen to achieve the desired color shade you're looking for before applying the polyurethane. If I remember correctly, it took 3 coats of stain to match my cabinets. Hope this helps....

      A:  Hello, The stain samples are items that we used a wipe on stain to achieve the look.

            A:  If I recall correctly, I read that you just email Columbia Forest Products at their site and ask. I didn't need a custom cut so I never did.

              UPS just delivered this package and since it was damaged I thought I would open it right away to look. The plywood itself was fine, but it was dropped on one end and the corner was smashed a little. there is a bow in the plywood which being 1/4" I'll be able to use it anyway. The front side has a nice uniform look to it. The back has two different colors of wood. For using this it a back of a box or cabinet it will work fine.

              Very Pleasantly Surprised
              For the product images and reading the wood face ratings, I was expecting a lot of holes, splices and splits. My board is nearly perfect. Don’t let the product images scare you. Also the shipping to my store was very quick and the packaging was great. I will definitely buy this type of board from here again.

                Better than expected
                The 1/4" x 24 x 96 inch alder panels turned out to be better than I expected. The face is nearly clear of all knots, back is not suitable for finishing but this is pointed out in the description so no surprise there. No shipping damage either which was pretty astonishing. One caveat for those unfamiliar with veneer plywood: Although stated as nominal "1/4" thick it actually measures about .203 inches thick. So if you use a 1/4" slotting bit for panel work its going to be a sloppy fit.

                  Horrible
                  For a project board the condition and quality was lacking. Patching on both sides, rendering it unusable for anything fine. Veneer is paper thin. I’d suggest the manufacturer charge a little more so they could concentrate on making a better product.

                  Hello,
                  I apologize for the issue. The plywood should not have the issues you describe in the review. I would like to discuss the issue with you and see what we can do to make it right. I can be reached at alec.neugent@cfpwood.com. Thanks.
