Default What happened to plywood quality?

Is this normal? Is this how mass-market plywood is done these days?


Along with corporate greed, where quality is a thing of the past and
customer service is a touch tone phone menu, hardwoods are no longer as
plentiful and thus plywood veneer is thinner to keep the cost down and

the
profits up.


Mister conspiracy raises his ugly and irrational head. It's actually a

bit
of "good enough" engineering designed to keep the price affordable in a
market where the foreigners are willing to pay premium price for veneer

logs
because their lower labor cost and higher demand factors will allow them

to
make a profit even with higher material cost.


Still showing your ass, eh, George? ... but you do need to learn to READ,
because you can't really be that ****ing dense.
