Wondering what’s the difference between plywood and regular wood? The answer is hidden in the name. Plywood is made of “plies” (AKA layers) of wood that’s glued together. It’s sold as sheets of wood, and the more plies it has, the thicker the sheet. Because of how it’s constructed it’s pretty easy to work with in DIY projects. It’s also easy to cut/sand it into curves, making it a versatile and easy to work with choice for people who are new to doing wood-based DIY projects.

Some of these DIYs projects use boards of wood in addition to plywood. But don’t be afraid of non-plywood lumber. I used to think working with wood was downright scary, but after my first few messy tries, I realized it’s just like any other craft project material. You just have to learn how to work with it (and how to be safe with your tools), and soon enough you’ll be able to make pretty much anything you want from wood!

If you’ve never made anything from wood before, I’d recommend your first tries be in the presence of someone who knows what they’re doing, especially if you have to use a power tool like a table saw. While you can learn about power tools from tutorials on YouTube, there are so many safety concerns with things like saws and nail guns that’d it’d be best to start off learning in the presence of someone skilled. If you don’t know someone who’s power tool handy, home improvement stores like Home Depot and Lowe’s often have classes that can be great introductions to the tools you’d be using in your own DIY plywood furniture projects.

And remember, plywood furniture is best made from furniture grade plywood. That just means grade A plywood, which has very few knots and has a smooth veneer. But technically, other grades of plywood would work, too. The Home Depot website has a handy article that discusses the details of the different grades of plywood. Now let’s take a look at some awesome DIY plywood furniture ideas!
