Walnut panels were perfect for my project
The PureBond Walnut project panels arrived well packed, scratch free, and completely intact. The panels had minimum voids, were perfectly straight (no cupping, no bowing, no twisting), and the walnut veneers on top and bottom were beautifully matched. Worked perfectly for a free-standing window seat/cat playhouse I built. Very pleased with the product.

    Good value and great service
    I ordered this and filled the custom cuts form expecting that to delay the order. Not only did this item arrive perfectly cut… but it got here in 2 days flat. Wow. As for the quality of the wood … I was impressed. Myself being a very amateur carpenter I cut and cut and drilled this wood pretty good with minimal chipping to build a soundproofing box for a speaker.

      Generally good plywood, some really nice looking pieces every once in a while. I have been using it to build some furniture where I add thin strips of solid walnut as edge banding. The most recent couple of sheets I got have some large voids, but this is the first time I've seen that. The face veneer is always nice, you do get some bookmatched or repeating grain. Occasionally there will be some figuring in the veneer.

      Not Perfect but Very Good
      I needed two panels to make a 24 inch vanity as a Christmas present to my wife. The sides, drawer fronts and bottom shelf are made from this plywood. Both side would have been usable with different grain patterns but there was a slight raised imperfection in one side of one panel. There was very minimal sapwood (light color streaking) in the plywood so it took stain quite well. I was tempted to use the free cutting service but decided I might adjust a dimension and waited to do both rips and crosscuts myself. I used a 5-1/2" 100-tooth blade on a battery operated circular saw for crosscuts with a track guide that I made from 1/4 plywood strips. Rips were made on my table saw that has a small tabletop since it is a job site saw. Both types of cuts were successful with virtually no splintering. The wood veneer took stain uniformly without a conditioner. I chose a golden oak stain knowing that even a fairly light stain would turn walnut pretty dark.

        These are high quality Walnut boards
        The boards were straight and easy to work. I love the poplar core which is very good for acoustic purposes since I make drums. Beautiful grain and the veneer is thick enough to be easily sanded with 220 grit sand paper without eating through.

          Good quality product, it would be nice if they made a veneered product on something like pine as well as plywood. Used this to top a desk and I was quite impressed at how well it turned out and how nice it looked when finished. A good quality product at a great price. I would suggest they pack it a little better though, first one I got was damaged badly because it wasn't packed well enough to keep it from damage during shipment. Second one was chipped on corner but since I was going to round it off it didn't matter. Needs better packing, the product itself is quite nicely made.

          Great product. Would have been happier if it came with the Walnut veneer on only one side and hence cheaper

          Ordered three panels. Two were warped. Was disappointed and caused me some headaches with my project. However, Columbia Forest Products kindly sent me two more panels, free, to replace the warped ones. Great customer service. Picture is one of the panels used as part of a dresser (the top).

              Cross your fingers that you get usable plywood
              I had high hopes based on the reviews. My Home Depot does not carry Purebond plywood, and I don't have another local source of quality plywood, but I'd heard very good things about Purebond, so I thought I'd give it a try. I ordered 2 sheets of 3/4" walnut plywood, both sheets 4' x 4'. Shipping was $99, so I expected them to arrive in good shape. Unfortunately, all four corners of both sheets were smashed and there were a couple big dents along the sides of one sheet. I had to cut about 2" off both sides of each sheet. In addition, one of the sheets had overlapping plies about 8" from one end that made the entire sheet bulge by about 1/8" along its entire length, so I had to cut that entire side off Both sheets also had a bit of a warp, which I expected, but one was so bowed that laying on my flat workbench, the center was raised by over 1.5". I tried to flatten with water, but was unsuccessful and ended up ruining my project trying to flatten it further. Including shipping the two sheets combined cost over $200, so I'm pretty disappointed that I ended up with about 4/5 of one usable sheet. I've included a few pictures of the problems I saw. I did give it 2 stars, because the quality of the plywood (lack of voids, quality of internal plies, etc.) was definitely better than what I can find at my local Home Depot, but I guess you play roulette on whether you'll actually get a usable piece, and I lost.

              BEAUTIFUL AND STYLISH LOOK OF WALNUT HARDWOOD
              This two foot by four foot light weight all wood veneer construction of this walnut plywood panel from Columbia Forest Products is great cost effective way to add a rich look of walnut to several different DIY carpentry projects. The face veneer on both sides of the panel I received have a beautiful and stylish look even though back side is described as suitable for projects where only one side is visible.

              seems pretty good for the price.
              The edges and corners were a tiny bit scuffed, but nothing too noticeable. The walnut laminate is very nice and rich, and certainly thick enough to withstand the finish sanding required during staining. I recommend the product.

              This product was great, fun to work with.
              I used this product to build a custom entertainment center for our living room. It turned out beautiful and I can't wait to use this product again for future projects.

              Exceptional plywood!
              We ordered 7 sheets of the walnut ply and we were so impressed with the quality of each board. The walnut surfaces were beautiful - one side obviously meant as the good side, but walnut on both sides. Every sheet was flat and there were absolutely no flaws or issues with the sheets, no waste at all. The order came quickly and was perfectly packed to keep the sheets together and flat. Our order came in a total of 3 boxes, each with packing straps around them as well. Highly recommended.

                Veneer so so
                Not very wide walnut veneer strips, so you really notice the repeating pattern

                Quality is good, but the color appears to be brownish grey and all the commercial walnut I have found for the solid edging I want are pinkish. I decided that if it's not going to match, I'll edge it with contrasting wood, maple. Most likely issue is probably naturally dried veneer on the plywood vs kiln dried lumber.
