Customer Reviews for Columbia Forest Products 3/4 in. x 4 ft. x 8 ft. PureBond Red Oak Plywood (FSC Certified)

It is modern plywood. Generally crappy. Full of voids and checked faces. Core of this is clearly poplar with very thin oak veneers. At least it is square, flat and true to dimensions.

It has been a few years since I last purchased this plywood. It still is a great product!

Great product used them to make my powerlifting platform for my home gym. It provides a solid base and looks nice with the stain o put on it.

It is a good product, but Home Depot charges different prices for the exact same product at different stores. The HD by my house charged $4.00 more per sheet than the next closest HD.

Bought this plywood to make a dining room table and the results were fantastic. I glued two pieces together to create a 1.5in rectangle. Very minimal sanding and took stain very well. I would definitely purchase again.

Real thin veneer splinters easily when cut

DIDN"T STAIN EVENLY

Great product but sometimes they will put birch plywood in its place

A lot of divits and cracks. For the most part, was pretty good. Was able to cut out the bad spots.

Great material, no warp!

Nice smooth surface with clean edges

Rough cuts from the factory on the ends splintered the veneer as much as 1/2” in from the ends. So plan on the waste from that. My rip blade did a good job in ripping it but all of my best crosscut blades experienced veneer splintering. On the plus side there were very few voids.

1.Nice finish 2. Great core 3. Clean very few flaws Suggestions Please stock 2 sided finish ply as well as 1/2" and 1/4" finish ply

Low end of ply for cabinetry. Some bumps and voids but was able to work around these flaws.

Bought it to make wide...74" x 16" shelves for my pantry. I LOVE it. Sanded lightly and it stained beautifully. I'm inpired to take wood working class.

Looks reasonably good on the top side, but some staining. Back side has tons of staining and knothole voids. Be careful of the back side. I had to look through about 10 of them before I found one with a good top side. The good parts look nice, but be careful.

I bought 8 sheets of red oak veneer 3/4" plywood. Six of the eight had noticeably mill marks and scratches on the best side and more on the reverse side. In addition, 2 sheets had small gouges and black foot prints on them. This the worst I have seen in my career of 50 years. Quality control??

Good looking product. A little disappointed the outside banner surface separated so easy.

Excellent

Very nice plywood with an excellent core. I have not run into any voids which are so common in plywood now. The only reason I didn't give it five starts is the sheet I got had a couple small areas where the veneer delaminated.

This product is the ONLY plywood product I will buy. Formaldehyde-free. The reason? We're all breathing in trace amounts of the stuff during a project, but then throw scrap pieces is a binmor caddie and pull it out later to use for another reason. I dont wantntonhave to worry I've bought a cheaper grade of plywood somewhere else thats less safe, thus if everything is Purebond Plywood, even wearing a respirator, I'm not going to have dangerous chemicals floating around i the air in my shop.

The layup on the plywood was not glued properly and there were imperfections in a few of the sheets that I purchased but it did make for a pain in the a,,,.

Plywood was nice but the veneer was very thine. Hard to sand without going through it

Face vennier has gotten even thinner, but can sand gently if needed. Grade B only, the other side was terrible, with visible voids and overall poor looking top vennier. If I was using it for anything other than one side visible shelving and case sides.; I would have searched for a better sheet.

Cuts well with no odor. Would have given 5 stars but found 2 voids in the core material which should have been prevented at factory. Face quality very good on both sides.

There were metal shavings glued inside the plywood that I discovered when routing a rabbet.

The red oak plywood is just what I heeded to rebuild a chest of drawers that had originally been constructed of pressed wood with a thin veneer of hard wood. I am very pleased with it.
