Frustration


Millwab

Recommended Posts

Normally I use 1/4” poplar ply to cut my puzzles, etc.  I decided to try PureBond's 1/4” plywood project panels for some military plaques I’m making and twice in a row I was 3-4 hours in when I hit a void in the core 😬  Hopefully I can salvage them but am totally frustrated with these panels.  Back to the 5-ply poplar for me!

I've never seen poplar ply. Where do you get it?

Dave, I get 16"x24" panels from Cherry Tree

1/4" Poplar Plywood | Cherry Tree Toys

I physically can't handle full sheets of plywood anymore, so these work out well for me.  As with buying any wood product on-line the shipping is a killer, but as your piece count goes up the cost/sheet goes down. I cut 100+ puzzles/year and have never had an issue with core voids with this product.  Additionally I've found that it's much easier to cut than BB and easier on blades.

Are the cores poplar?

Bob, according to their description all 5 plys are poplar.

Our HD, Lowes and local hardwood suppliers carry poplar ply in 4X8X5mm sheets.

I'd be careful with plywood from the big box stores.  Their 1/4" plywood typically has a single ply core.  This is what burned me on my military plaques.
