Australian Red Cedar Plywood
Australian Red Cedar Plywood is a premium hardwood plywood featuring the natural beauty, warmth, and character of genuine Australian Red Cedar. Known for its rich reddish-brown tones, fine grain pattern, and smooth appearance, this plywood is an excellent choice for high-end woodworking projects where the natural look of the wood is a key design element.
Australian Red Cedar has long been appreciated by woodworkers for its beauty, workability, and unique natural properties. Its fine texture, pleasant aroma, and dimensional stability make it especially desirable for specialty applications, including humidors, where the wood’s natural characteristics help create an ideal environment for storing fine cigars. The cedar’s natural ability to absorb and release moisture helps support humidity regulation within a humidor, while its aromatic qualities complement the storage environment. Australian Red Cedar is also valued for its resistance to warping and its ability to maintain a stable structure in changing humidity conditions.

Understanding Plywood Grades:
Plywood grades describe the appearance and quality of the face and back veneers. The first letter represents the front (face) veneer, and the second letter represents the back veneer.
AB Grade:
AB grade plywood features a high-quality A-grade face veneer and a B-grade back veneer. The A face is smooth, clean, and free of open defects, making it ideal for visible finished applications. The B back may contain minor natural characteristics such as small knots, patches, or slight imperfections while maintaining a quality surface.
AC Grade:
AC grade plywood features a high-quality A-grade face veneer with a C-grade back veneer. The A face provides a smooth, attractive surface for finished applications, while the C back may have more natural characteristics such as knots, splits, or repaired areas. The back is intended for applications where appearance is less critical.
