Imported Meranti is an inexpensive utility hardwood plywood. It is used to make templates and mock ups, drawer bottoms and the insides of cabinet boxes where appearance is not important. It was used a lot in the 1960's for boxes and millwork as a result of its ready availability and its low cost. It can also be used for veneer core platforms for laying up fancy veneer faces on.
