Explain in general what plywood panel construction is and how it is constructed.

What will be an ideal response?


Plywood, manufactured for nearly a century, is one of the most widely used wood products. The manufacturing process uses a lathe to peel thin veneer from water saturated logs. Plywood panels are made by bonding together the thin layers, or plies, of wood. The grain in each ply layer is arranged perpendicular to the grain of the next layer. Panels always have an odd number of plys, such as three, five, or seven. Each ply may be a single thickness veneer or two veneers glued together.
