Arauco Plywood

[shelbylancer109]

I came across a plywood at Lowes made by Arauco in Chile. The stuff I looked at was 5 ply 15/32 ACX and was $23.00 a sheet. There were no voids on any of the end pieces in the stack. Really good looking stuff. Anybody have any experience with it? They also had 7 ply 23/32 for $31.00. Thanks Mike

It's a very good plywood for furniture and house construction. Unhappily totally unsuitable for boatbuilding beacause of the low resistance to rot in water of the wood.
