IN 2600 BC, PLYWOOD WAS USED BY THE EGYPTIANS TO MAKE COFFINS

Today in 2020, Plywood is a common and popular building material which is used in endless applications. It is one of the oldest building materials known to man.  

Made by gluing together thin sheets of wood veneer with grains running in opposing directions, modern plywood is a strong material that has been in use since the 1850’s, with mass-production taking off in the 1920’s.

But long before modern architects and designers started capitalising on its beautiful and unique properties, the ancient Egyptians were using it to make coffins in the tombs of the Pharaohs as early as 2600 BC.
