Customer Reviews for Columbia Forest Products 1/2 in. x 2 ft. x 4 ft. PureBond Walnut Plywood Project Panel (Free Custom Cut Available)

I just received this product a week ago, I cut it on my laser machine today and it is not even usable. There are voids through the wood bad enough that I cannot use it for my project and order. I am very unhappy about this. I have purchased this before and many other columbia forest products with no problems.

Beautiful nice smooth walnut, takes stain and finishes nicely, just need to sand the edges if going to be exposed.

This plywood looks great, and is completely flawless on the A side. The B side doesn't look bad at all either. It shipped in a sturdy box, with several protective sheets of cardboard surrounding the plywood. The veneer is a little thin (<1/32"), so you'll have to make sure not to sand too much except for a light finishing pass. The veneer doesn't really need much finishing anyway, and I jumped right to 220 grit for it. The veneers sandwich three thicker plies on the interior. I didn't find any voids at all either. There's a very very slight warp in my sheet, but nothing that framing it with some solid walnut won't fix easily. This is going to make for one awesome looking piece of furniture when I have everything together!

The board was packaged very poorly. It arrived with water damage on one edge. Other than that the veneer looks very nice, if a bit thin.

Nice piece of plywood. Walnut veneer on both sides. Very well package for shipping.

This plywood was beautiful on one side and pretty nice on the other. I had it custom cut which is an amazing feature. The cuts were square and the edges were clean. The plywood was almost void free. There were a few small gaps. The reason I gave it 4 stars is one of the corners was slightly damaged. Fortunately, I was able to make a minor repair and still use the piece.

super for engraving

this is walnut both sides, 3/4" is only walnut on one side.

It was decent. There are ripples on one side of the board and there are marks on both sides, perhaps made during the shaving process. It’s not great and I wouldn’t use this for any projects where appearance is a big factor.

Good quality in relatively inexpensive walnut faced plywood

The panels were perfect for my project

It has a thin layer of walnut veneer on it, it is not made of walnut. It should be mentioned somewhere in spec.

I expected it to be in worse condition being shipped, but it was in pretty good shape aside from one corner. Overall, very happy with the product.

Nice looking veneer on one side. Did great for shaker style cabinets

horrible veneer. I bought 5 sheets to get an idea of the quality. Glad I didn't buy enough for my project. Veneer quality was so bad that it's comparable to those I've seen on pallets. It's no wonder this product isn't stocked in stores because no one would purchase it if they saw it first hand.

This plywood is thin, but has enough layers to be pretty stable. I cut the 2' squares into a lot of smaller pieces and was surprised to not find any voids in the plies. I think I lucked out a lot, several of the pieces I received had nice flame/fiddleback figuring on at least one side. Perfect for the table tops and drawer fronts for my end table project. I like to add on some 1/4" thin strips of walnut as edge banding for a much cheaper alternative to solid walnut furniture that looks just as good!

Great looking product, sent cut to size with no problems. Would recommend.

It came rather over-packaged and still had cut damage.

I used this to build new custom shelves. Had them custom cut to specified dimensions. Cuts were perfect and smooth with no nicks or rough edges. I am very pleased with the outcome. I will definitely use this again for other projects.
