Plywood is probably the most popular and versatile man-made woodworking material available in home centers today. It is a laminated product made up of numerous thin strips of wood laid in alternating directions and bonded with glue into strong, stable sheets. Because of this construction method, plywood is less susceptible to expansion and shrinkage. These thin layers of maple or birch veneer are actually part of the plywood, as each veneer or ply is glued with its grain at right angles to adjacent layers creating strength and durability.

A board of solid wood hewn from the trunk of a single tree is somewhat unstable and likely to expand or shrink across the grain-based upon the moisture content present in the wood. While the board is much stronger and less likely to expand or shrink along the grain, it is much more likely to split with the grain than against.
