Softwood Plywood is manufactured from Elliottis Pine making it a strong yet relatively lightweight plywood. Softwood plywood is very easy to work with and is suitable for a variety of end uses such as hoarding, flooring and stud walling. The ''Pine'' effect on the face enables clear finishing with say a varnish to produce a pleasing effect but can also be painted or stained to obtain the required finish.

Application
Softwood plywood is general utility plywood suitable for many end uses such as site hoarding, roof decking, and vehicle bodywork - it has even been used for low-cost kitchen cabinets. Easily worked with both hand and machine tools it screws, glues and paints well. The C+ face is generally sound but could have some knots and open splits which will require some filling to produce the best results.
