Overall a great plywood. The bulk of the plywood is regular, cheap ply but with a very nice Tasmanian Oak veneer. The face may not need sanding if your are varnishing is, it is very smooth. If you do sand it though be careful, the veneer is very thin. I ruined a multi-day build by breifly sanding this ply with a belt sander.

Bought one sheet to make small small product stands. The glue used in manufacture was quite inadequate and patchy, and when cutting and dressing small items, the top (and bottom) layers delaminated. Being AA grade plywood I expected better than this. Spoiled the job.

I bought the 6mm sheet. Tore very badly with power saw, and when drilling. The idea is that the glue is supposed to be stronger than the wood. Not so with this stuff. You expect some chips on the back of the cut. I got lots of tears up to 30mm long along the grain. The outside veneer was thin and didn't look like it was glued down properly.

I used this plywood for frame a panel furniture, and drawer bases. It has a fantastic looking and finished veneer, which is quite thin so you need to be very careful when cutting it. But this is expected with a veneered product. Other people said it wasn’t very good for CAM use, this doesn’t surprise me as it doesn’t have the highest quality core as the manufacturing costs were put into the quality veneering. It you want it for furniture it’s great, but if you want to CNC or laser cut it I would choose a dense marine ply.
The veneer is very thin, so thin in some spots you can see through to the next layer in the more textured grain sections. Voids in the core are minimal but if you get unlucky the ones that are there tend to be large and cause the material to fall apart and can spoil the piece.The main positive is the sheets are flatter and in better condition the pine ply at Bunnings, and veneer has a thick grain texture that looks good when painted a solid colour.This is definitely not a premium grade plywood but is okay for knocking up some basic drawer boxes, which none of the other ply at Bunnings is really suitable for.
I cut this into 50mm strips for my project and they all took on a curve as they came of the saw table. This shouldn’t happen with plywood!Paper thin face veneers and the core layers are jumbled in places.A low quality product but certainly not a low price
An appalling product. It delaminated in one day in the rain. The most basic quality of any Marine plywood is that the glue should be waterproof. This product should be described as indoor plywood with decorative finish. This is the worst product I have ever bought from Bunnings. I glued it to an external door so now I will have to replace the door.
NEVER NEVER TOUCH this red OAK Ply. I have worked with timbers for 15 years and this OAK veneer ply is the worst quality I have had the misfortune to work with. You cannot conventionally cut this material without the veneer chipping off. You cannot edge sand it for the same reason. If you happened to get wood glue on its surface you cannot sand it as the veneer is too thin . I spent 8 hrs injecting glue and putty just to try and get some sort of satisfactory integral structure.Cannot believe Bunnings sell this at this high cost and get away with it. Its completely rubbish and not suited as a DIY timber. Bunnings ,do yourself and customers a favour + your credibility by REMOVING IT FROM STOCK or at least find a reputable supplier over profit.
Not too bad, but not the best thing either. Like other have said: nice but thin veneer. It comes quite smooth, but if you want to sand it further, do it gently, by hand preferably. The interior layers are sometimes tangled, so not nice for exposed edges. The interior layers are poplar as per the specs, which is not a hard wood, even though it's technically a "hardwood". It looks straight when you buy it but it bends a bit when you cut it. See the photo, 12 mm ply, sanded a bit with 180 grit, finished with Watson wipe-on poly.
Ive have the same issue as others have complained about. This ply de laminates! Obviously the adhesive the manufacturer used is very poor, Bunnings please contact your supplier to recall this marine ply.
