PureBond Plywood

[chopnhack]

Just an FYI: if no one has used this plywood from the BORG yet.....GET SOME The veneer is actually thick enough to be seen with the naked eye! The plywood is veneer core and is exceptionally stable, even after being cut. The veneer did not flake or separate after cutting. (to be fair i did use a zctp and an 80 tooth hatb blade, but the blade is getting dull as its about 4 years old) It runs $39.95 for 3/4" birch (one good side IMHO) so you actually get what you pay for.

This is the preliminary info I have on it. Over the next few weeks we will see what happens to it. I will let you know also on how it stains.

As I mentioned in your other thread, what lumber core plywood was. PureBond is not lumber core, but a veneer core. The difference is that it's fabricated with a soy based adhesive and not urea-formaldehyde (toxic free). For the veneer thicknesses, you can thank Columbia Forest Products for producing the board in North America.

If you're referring to lumber core, mostly for cabinet carcasses, because it's light.

Thanks Cabinetman, that is what I was wanting to know. I hope to start a complete to the studs kitchen remodel this fall, and I have been wondering what to use on the cabinets. This looks promising.

Don,
Thank you for the link. I will study that tonight.
