About This Product

The decorative veneers on this 1/2 in. x 2 ft. x 4 ft. PureBond Cherry Plywood Project Panel are plain-sliced from domestically harvested cherry trees, exhibiting the uniqueness and warmth of natural timber with hardwood grains running along the length of each panel for stunning visual allure. Precision-cut with finely honed edges, these petite panels are perfect for smaller cabinetry and woodworking projects or putting the finishing touches on larger furniture-building jobs. The soy-based PureBond technology is strong and water-resistant, able to tolerate moisture and humidity better than plywood assembled with formaldehyde-based solutions. Additionally, the 5-ply panel is cost-competitive with UF-constructed plywood and will not expose indoor environs to toxic fumes, further preserving interior spaces and promoting healthy living and working conditions. Expand your DIY exploits with this cherry hardwood plywood to create a myriad of exquisite carpentry pieces, including footstools, benches, cabinets, shelves, end tables, pet food centers, serving trays and more.

Hi, Yes, but I always recommend a light 220 grit sanding before applying anything to the wood! Thanks.

    What is the core layer made of?

    Answer This Question

    Hello, The inner plies are made of poplar/pine in the eastern US and in the western US it is made of fir/pine.

      Columbia uses Yellow Poplar as their plywood cores - East Coast USA harvested. But IMO since you will not see the core, the important thing is the PureBond construction which uses soy-based glues and resins to avoid formaldehyde which will off-gas for decades. Here is a link with some more info: https://www.columbiaforestproducts.com/product/purebond-hardwood-plywood/. I've used the cherry veneer on several cabinet and furniture projects and have not been disappointed. FWIW, Columbia's direct ship custom cut feature has been surprisingly spot on as well!

        These panels are top grade, however, as far as I know Home Depot does not provide for a special order quarter sawn panel.

            On the custom cut, is it possible to get rounded edges on one side?
            ByJan 28, 2021
            3 Answers | 
            Answer This Question

            No, this is 1/2” plywood veneer, if you want rounded edges, and if you decide to use a 1/2” radius router bit, you will reveal the layers of core veneers....if that is OK with you. I worked on a project recently requiring rounded edges with a 1/2” radius. I decided to glue a 1/2” thick 2” wide solid cherry wood trim piece along each edge and then produced a rounded 1/2” radius using a router bit. Looks great. Just make certain that you can make glue line quality cuts for all joints on all edges; I.e. for both the plywood edge and the trim piece edge so that you have almost an invisible glue line joint.

            I apologize, but we are not able to round the edges. We can only offer straight, square cuts at this time.

                  Hello, The edges are not finished. You can use solid lumber to trim the edges or you could use edge banding material that is applied with heat.

                      No stripping required, sanding is up to the purchaser. I personally recommend sanding it, starting with a 120 grit to a 220 grit.

                          Hello, Just a light sand is all that is required before applying your finish. The panel will not have any coating on it that requires stripping.

                                I bought a new, larger TV and the media stand I have wasn't wide enough. It was either purchase a new, wider media stand or get creative. I decided if I could just buy a board wide enough for the new TV and screw it to the old media stand, that would do the job. Save money and use the stand that I have. The size I wanted was not a standard size, so being able to have a free custom cut was tremendously helpful. I ordered it to the size I wanted, screwed it to the stand and now the new TV fits.

                                I realize you're probably better off with a full panel in terms of cost, but sometimes I think it's worth it to get these smaller project panels. They're easy to move, you don't have break down a 4x8 panel, and they're much easier to store if you're not getting right to a project. I've now used several different panels and wood types and this was the first one that has warped slightly. Slightly disappointing., maybe I just got a bad batch?

                                Beautiful wood but has imperfections
                                The cherry veneer on this panel is very thin so there are some imperfections that you may not be able to work around, depending on your project. I have a couple of areas on the finished side where there are pieces missing, leaving the plywood visible. There are a couple of other imperfections where you can see the plywood as well so keep that in mind. Luckily, the project I'm working on allowed me to work around these issues. I will note that one side looks like a completely different type of wood. Birch maybe? It's very light weight so it's easy to handle and easy to cut. The panel arrived very well packed and I didn't experience any shipping damage.

                                Excellent plywood; was perfect for my Shaker Boxes!
                                I steam bent some cherry wood and made Shaker Oval Boxes for Christmas. I needed the tops and bottoms to be cherry plywood. Solid cherry for this purpose could result in wood movement and possibly crack the bent cherry used for the sides of the boxes.. This plywood had no voids between the plys and no blemishes on either side of the plywood, unlike some plywood I have bought in the past. The top and bottom plys were thick enough allowing sufficient sanding without fear of sanding through the layers.
