Plywood is one of the commonly used materials for furniture, and it is one of the three major boards of wood-based panels. It can also be used for aircraft, ships, trains, automobiles, buildings and packaging boxes. A group of veneers are usually assembled and glued together according to the direction of the wood grain of adjacent layers perpendicular to each other. Usually, the surface board and inner layer board are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the center layer or core. The slab made of the veneer after gluing is criss-crossed according to the direction of wood grain, and pressed under heating or non-heating conditions. The number of layers is generally an odd number, and a few have even numbers. The difference in physical and mechanical properties in the vertical and horizontal directions is small. The commonly used types of plywood are three-ply board, five-ply board and so on. Plywood can improve wood utilization and is a major way to save wood.

The surface layer of plywood should have clear wood grain, the front side should be smooth and smooth, and the back side should not have a rough and thorny feeling, and no joints. If the plywood is degummed, it will not only affect the construction, but also cause pollution. Therefore, you can gently tap the board with your hands when selecting. If there is a crisp sound, it means that the board is well bonded. If there is a thick sound, it indicates that the board has degumming .
