Homemade Plywood

Griffin started with free strips of thin wood from Home Depot. These are used as spacers in large stacks of lumber and would have been thrown away. He took three of these strips and coated them with glue. He stacked the three strips of wood and used clamps to hold them together until the glue dried. Maybe he should have used wood glue, but for this project white glue worked OK. It took a few days for the glue to dry because it was raining. After the glue dried, he sawed it with the scroll saw so that you can see the layers. Then he sanded it and added furniture polish so the wood grain shows up well.
