Title: cabinet grade plywood
Post by: Matt Stuckey on March 29, 2009, 03:01:00 PM

I was going through my scrap boc and  found a piece of what appears to be cabinet grade plywood, would this hold up as a handle?
Thanks
Matt

I wouldn't use it.
Only the exterior ply has any aesthetic value and it's designed for interior use.
As you shape your handle and compromise the layers, you'll run into layers that are not full-grain wood. By that I mean composites.
You'd be better off with a pine 2X4.
