Bending Plywood

When I returned to the lumber section of my hardware store, I noticed a different type of plywood than what I had bought weeks earlier for building drawers. It looked similar at first, but there were big differences. I had previously purchased a 1/2-inch birch plywood with 5 plies - 2 outer veneers and 3 core layers, perfect for structural applications, furniture, and cabinetry. But then I saw a full sheet of 1/2-inch birch plywood with only 3 plies at a fraction of the cost (2x the price but 4x more wood). While it could be used for cabinets, I don’t think it has the same strength as the 5-ply, though it might work for wall paneling, partitions, or maybe where bending is required. When choosing plywood, appearance matters.
