plywood definition and meaning

What is "plywood"?

Plywood is a type of engineered wood made by gluing together several thin layers of wood, called veneers, with the grain of each layer running in different directions. This construction makes plywood strong, stable, and less likely to warp or crack. It is commonly used in construction, furniture making, and as a base for flooring or paneling. Plywood is valued for its versatility, cost-effectiveness, and durability. It comes in different grades and thicknesses, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
