Customer Reviews for Columbia Forest Products 1/2 in. x 4 ft. x 4 ft. PureBond Cherry Plywood Project Panel (Free Custom Cut Available)

My digital caliper says 0.189" which is 0.015 over 3/6". The 1/4" is before sanding. Nice looking wood, though.

Perfect for our Glowforge

Got 2 1/2" 4x4 pieces of cherry. Arrived on time, well packaged though 1 corner on both pieces was slightly smushed,like it had been dropped on that corner. Wasn't a problem for me. Good side was pretty nice, good grain and color. Back side was good, but one half of the back side of each sheet was sapwood, so it was white not reddish pink like the rest. Grain was good and clear though. Ok if its the inside of a panel or you use the white altogether. Core is, well, about what you get these days. Good enough for a panel which is my use. Wouldn't trust a screw in it. Good buy and looks nice in my project. Will use again.

Highly recommended- Great plywood; perfectly flat, straight edges, cut squarely. The core is three thick plies of poplar. The face veneers are beautiful, but very thin. The two faces are cut differently, so you have a choice of straight grain or a bit more variation and perhaps a few pinhole knots. Both are quite attractive. Mine was well packed, shipped promptly, and arrived in perfect condition. I have ordered this twice and the quality was very consistent.

Very nice cherry plywood veneers, good for furniture grade material, clear vertical grain, minimal imperfections if any.

It was just what I expected.

Pleased with this project panel, it cuts well and has a pretty tint.

The B side had one dent/scratch in it but other than that it finished nice.

Great item, cuts very well in my Glowforge. Very happy with product.

Very clean unblemished surface. Hard to find half inch thickness and was perfect for cradle bottom. Took finish very well and looked natural next to solid cherry frame.

Absolutely perfect for cabinet backs with an extremely light sanding. Finishes well and matches cherry lumber very well. With the best side outward, one can make nice looking cherry boxes, cases.

I would give it 5 stars but it is a little warped most of the time.

Ordered six, two edges were dinged. All were a 1/16 shy of 1/2 inch.

I have purchased this product before and it was excellent. Unfortunately, this go round the cherry veneer was a bit more brittle and the pieces came with the outer edges dinged and chips along the cut edges.

This cuts great on the glowforge. I like all the pure bond products.

I ended up buying 4 pieces of this plywood to make a piece of furniture. For the quality, it's not a bad price. But if I could have just bought a full 4 x 8 sheet I could have had much more useable material and less waste. Yes, I realize that a 4 x 8 sheet would be cumbersome to ship, but it would be a much better value for woodworkers.

They were exactly as expected

Wood is beautiful, carves well (using it for printmaking), and the company is great. Had an issue with an order that was fixed within 24hrs of finding it, no extra cost. Will absolutely use again.
