Half inch maple plywood is popular for a variety of uses including cabinets, shelves, fixtures, furniture, cases, and slab doors. This hard, strong, straight-grained wood provides a very smooth surface. The lightweight veneer core of the panel offers superior durability and screw holding. Finish sanding provides an extremely smooth surface without the need for grain filler. Stains applied provide an extremely even color and it accepts paint as well. Made from renewable resources, plywood is one of the most environmentally friendly decorative products available. Plywood manufacturing achieves a more complete utilization of the log than lumber.
