How plywood is layers across each other
Plywood is thin wood sheets glued with the grain of each sheet square to the next.
When the purchase is complete, return to the original window. It will refresh.
From the opening
Plywood is a stack of thin wood veneers, called plies, glued together so the grain of each ply runs at right angles to the grain of the ply beside it. An odd number of plies lets the two outside faces share one grain direction while the core crosses them. The opening covers grains alternate at right angles, an odd count aligns the faces, and each ply braces the next.
The rest of the brief — the later sections and the reading notes — opens after Stripe confirms payment.
