Plywood is made from thin laminates of wood glued together. Each layer is at right angle to the grain of the other. It is very strong but also quite flexible, especially if there are thinner sheets. It is used widely in the building industry. Plywood is a wood product manufactured out of many sheets of veneer, or plies, pressed together and glued, with their grains going in opposite directions. Plywood tends to be extremely strong, though not very attractive, and is treated in many different ways depending upon its intended application. Because of the way in which plywood is constructed, it also resists cracking, bending, warping, and shrinkage, depending upon its thickness.

Cowhide is the natural, unbleached skin and hair of a cow. It retains the original coloring of the animal. Colors are from varying patterns of black & white, brown & white. Our Cowhide Rugs are qualified as tanned finished products, unique natural pieces from animals not in risk of extinction or endangered species. The refinement treatment is based on herbal tanning instead of using chrome or other heavy metals, to make the fur resistant against heat, humidity and other external influences.
