New Plywood
Real plywood, built for real work. Thin eucalyptus veneers are stacked with their grains crossed and glued together with a weather-tough resin — the kind of bond that lets the sheet stay flat, take a load, and shrug off water. Rated for both indoor and outdoor use — including areas that see rain, spray or heavy humidity.
Comes in two thicknesses — a light 6 mm (¼") for cabinet backs and drawer bottoms, and a full 18 mm (¾") for shelves, boxes and anything structural. Stocked in standard 4' × 8' sheets and quality B2 (B+/B).
The wood comes from responsibly managed plantations (FSC certified), it's termite resistant, and it's rated for the cleanest indoor air on the market — virtually zero formaldehyde emissions, meeting California's and the EPA's strictest limits. Good for cabinet boxes, drawer parts, closet interiors, shop jigs, structural work, concrete forms, joinery, even truck bodies.
Essentials for every project. Always in stock.
