Most plywood panels are made up of sheets of veneer called ___.

• A. Ply
• B. Plies
• C. Layers
• D. Sheets

Answer: (B)

Plywood panels are built from thin sheets of wood called plies. Each veneer sheet is a ply, and when multiple veneers are glued together, they’re referred to in the plural as plies. This term is standard in plywood construction. Using the singular form ply would describe only one layer, while layers or sheets are generic descriptors and don’t capture the specific terminology for the individual veneer sheets.
