3/4 in. x 2 ft. x 8 ft. Europly Walnut Plywood Project Panel (Free Custom Cut Available)

We used the Walnut Europly Plywood for a custom desktop. The color was a bit on the cool side when just applying polyurethane, so we applied Varathan golden oak wood stain to warm it up. We followed it with water-based satin finish polyurethane. It looks beautiful. I had the piece custom cut, and the cut edge had some splintering/cracking. My husband thought he could do a better job of cutting it. I contacted customer service and sent them a photo. They were happy to help make it right. I requested a replacement just an inch longer than what I originally wanted so that, if the cut was bad again, my husband could cut it himself. It arrived looking much better! Beautiful, affordable plywood and excellent customer service!

I was recently making a small bench protect out of walnut. I ordered one sheet of the cheap purebond walnut plywood and one sheet of the eyroply. The two sheets came in the same box and were indistinguishable. Each containing five 9/64 plys sandwiched between 1/64" veneers. Absolutely not worth the extra money. There is a chance that there was a shipping error and i recieved two of the cheaper sheets, but i called and they were going to ship out the same 5 ply sheet so I cancelled the reorder.

The 3/4 in. x 2 ft. x 4 ft.. europly walnut plywood project panel looks great. I got this panel to make my daughter a cello box to hold her cello in a standing position. The panel was shipped to me. It was packed very,very well. The panel is sanded on both sides with a beautiful walnut veneer. I love working with these panels. They are very flat and well made. I have only cut the panel to rough size pieces I need so far.

The panel was packaged well and no shipping or handling damage was detected. This is by far the finest veneer plyboard I have seen. When finished, the color is rich and the grain is complex. Only minor gaps in the plies, however the edge shows some breakout that was caused by a dull blade. This panel is suitable for fine furniture. Higly recommended if you build fine furniture.

I ordered 1 sheet of the 1/2 in. x 2 ft. x 4 ft. Europly Walnut Plywood. The plywood was packaged and shipped to my doorstep without any damage. This is high quality hardwood and heavier than expected. This came with with no voids on the exposed edges. I cut this in half without any chipping. Not sure I'm liking the wood grain on the one side of the panel, big light and dark spaces compared to the smooth side. I'm making shelves out of this. I'm cutting out cats on this wood for shelves for my cats. You can see where I drew them on the back side of the wood.

Great piece of wood for any project. Has a great color and great lines in the veneer. There are many layers of ply as opposed to other project panels i have received in the past. Great for making storage cubes or even a table top. Is very sturdy. I would recommend to only stain with a clear coat. I wouldn't go any darker than the actual piece. Edges are sharp and undamaged even with shipping.

The 3/4 in. x 2 ft. x 4 ft. Europly Walnut Plywood Project Panel is a cabinet grade / furniture grade plywood with clean and consistent laminations. This plywood is sanded smooth on the face and has veneer laminated edges that are visually striking due to the uniformity. Each layer of veneer is clear with very few minor voids around the edge. The plywood was adequately packaged and shipped to my doorstep without issue. It is also urea formaldehyde-free.

Quality: This is TOP QUALITY PLYWOOD. You can tell from the close up photo of the edge that shows consistent and even solid-core plies with no gaps. I examined the entire perimeter of this 2’ X 4’ board and found no gaps anywhere! THAT is a good sign! Uses: I have used this stuff before for many different projects including: custom speaker cabinets, super strong shelving, numerous shop jigs and fixtures, drawers, table tops, small tool cases and one large rolling tool case. Each piece was as good as the last, and in all those cases I found very few gaps. Those gaps that I found were very small and easy to fill. Of course when you edge-band with solid wood, those gaps are a non issue since they are covered. TIP: If you use solid edge-banding, then you can skip filling any small gaps you do happen to find. If you use iron-on veneer edge-banding, then it is advisable to fill those small gaps with wood putty. That’s fast and easy. Modern putty dries within ten minutes. Light sanding with 180 is all you need to get a secure glue bond with veneer. Appearance: What you can’t see from stock photos is how beautiful this stuff looks when finished! To help you appreciate that, I applied a very quick finish so you can see the difference. By “very quick finish” I mean two coats of shellac, hastily applied with a shop rag in two minutes or less. No sanding. Check the photos… This is just how smooth the boards come from the factory! Value: Obviously, we are paying a premium for a premium product AND in this size, a little more for the convenience of these small quarter-sheets. If lowest price is more important to you, be aware you can buy the same material in WHOLE 4’ X 8’ sheets from Home Depot. That will save you a bit. Plus HD is one of the few Home Centers that will provide TWO FREE cuts on their panel saws. SO… if you absolutely want the best bargain but do not have a large enough vehicle to transport whole sheets, buy the whole sheet and have HD cut it down for you in the store. If you DO have a pickup truck or van large enough for whole sheets, I recommend a cardboard barrier to protect the delicate edges when you transport them. This stuff is too nice to waste by banging edges unnecessarily. In my case, I appreciate the convenience of quarter sheets and am happy to pay extra for it. I can carry these smaller sheets down to my basement workshop easily. Having precut sections saves me TIME; Not just the time of cutting down large sheet goods, but the set up and clean up time too! When I consider the time of getting out my track saws, bringing them and tracks and clamps and extenders up to the garage, setting up saw horses, marking and cutting, then sweeping up and putting everything away again… these become very practical. Not only that, but in the sweltering heat of summer or bitter cold of winter, I do not have to endure discomfort. I can get right to work on the project instead of spending time in preparations. Less sweat = More FUN! Also: They will ship these to you in a well-protected cardboard box with plenty of edge protection. That means you don’t spend time driving. Depending on how far away your Home Depot is you might save money on gas too! From my perspective of convenience and time savings, that is a bargain. Conclusion: It’s beautiful, strong, easy-to-finish, high quality plywood no matter how you buy it. Depending on your needs and situation, you can choose convenient quarter sheets or buy whole sheets and move them yourself. You have to see it finished in person to truly see how nice it is… I hope these photos and suggestions help with your projects!

I build a lot of small, custom cabinets and furniture, but finding quality hardwood in our rural area is a huge challenge. There are no fine hardwood stores nearby, so to find plywood project panels via Home Depot is a tremendous benefit. These aren't typical “big box” project panels though: they are fashioned with hardwood veneer on one side (walnut in this case) and birch veneer on the other – perfect for boxes/cabinets where the inside needs to be light-colored. Built on many plys of birch as the core, with no voids inside, exposed edges can be left uncovered for a decorative touch (see photo). The plain-sliced walnut veneer is 1/50” thick, more than enough to cut without chipping and sand lightly for final finishing. It's beautiful walnut too, with great contrast and good figure. Since it's mail-order and ship-to-home, I don't get to pick the grain I want and shipping fees add up, but it's worth the convenience for small projects. It's like finding a hidden treasure! I'll be buying some of the other hardwood Europly panels in short order!
